Hi, That's OK, don't feel bad asking questions ;) And don't feel bad when people say you're clueless if you say it's a mess ;)
For Tomcat 5, Tomcat's source is divided into several CVS modules. These are jakarta-tomcat-5, jakarta-tomcat-catalina, jakarta-tomcat-connectors, jakarta-tomcat-jasper, and jakarta-servletapi-5. The last one in the previous list contains the Servlet API classes, so if you want to change the HttpServletResponse interface, that's where you would start. The build script does checkouts as needed, both for Tomcat's own source (the above CVS modules) and dependencies as listed in the build.properties.default file. The checkouts don't use the CVS -C switch, so they won't override any changes you've made. As to your build directory question, you should try it instead of ranting. You'll find the build script fairly intelligent in not removing your changes. Of course, if you run the "clean" Ant target, the directory will be cleaned out.
