Directory listing of src tree

The Windows service installer fails to install the NOTICE and RELEASE-NOTES
files in the target directory. (Same in Tomcat 6 - Bug 45879).

Also, the installer creates several files in the src/ directory (even for a Normal installation) which don't seem to belong there - see the attached listing for details.

Comment 2 Sebb 2008-09-25 05:03:58 UTC 
The patch does not seem to address adding RELEASE-NOTES to the top-level directory, which is where the binary archive puts them.
Comment 3 Mark Thomas 2009-06-03 13:40:08 UTC 
The patch has been applied to 5.5.x and will be included in 5.5.28 onwards.
