Hi Alexey,
I don't have bootstrap directory anywhere under the
distribution tree. What I have is:
/usr/local/ant/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/etc/poms/ant
/usr/local/ant/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/etc/testcases/taskdefs/ant
/usr/local/ant/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/tests/junit/org/apache/tools/ant
/usr/local/ant/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/script/ant
/usr/local/ant/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant
/usr/local/ant/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/resources/org/apache/tools/ant
/usr/local/ant/apache-ant-1.7.0/build/classes/org/apache/tools/ant
Care to pick one?
Thank you.
