Class BackportEnglish

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tomcat.buildutil.translate.BackportBase
org.apache.tomcat.buildutil.translate.BackportEnglish

public class BackportEnglish extends BackportBase
Generates a set of English property files to back-port updates to a previous version. Where a key exists in the source and target versions the value is copied from the source to the target, overwriting the value in the target, except for a small number of keys that are known to be different between versions. The expectation is that the changes will be manually reviewed before committing them.
