Purpose of the SVN /bin directory?

[Glen Mazza <gr...@verizon.net>]

Hello,

I've downloaded Tomcat off of SVN but am unsure what the tomcat/bin/ 
directory indicates, the svn page[1] doesn't describe it.  It appears to 
be a bunch of compiled .class files--may I ask what they're for, and why 
they are in SVN?

Thanks,
Glen

Hi,
It's an intermediate staging area for some compiled files.  It's not
part of the SVN repository, as you can see at
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/tomcat/.  It gets generated during
the build and cleaned up as part of the clean target.
