I am somewhat surprised that there is not a standard procedure for doing this sort of thing. Accordingly, I guess I will just have to take my time and eventually get there, since I have other things to do than work on struts open source. I am going to keep track of what I do so that hopefully others will be able to use the process in the future, sort of like code reuse. Not complaining! It is just that I love to code and am not crazy about learning new administrative nuances.

Please let me know if I am screwing up.  So far, this is what I have done.

1. Downloaded and installed Python 2.3.4 from http://www.python.org/. (APPARENTLY REQUIRED BY WinCVS)
2. Downloaded and installed WinCVS13b18 from http://www.wincvs.org/.
3. Rooted around in http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14033&group_id=1
4. Got a reference to a WinCVS manual at http://cvsgui.sourceforge.net/howto/index.html.
5. Downloaded PuTTY from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html.
6. Jettisoned PuTTY
7. Went to SecureCRT at http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/.
8. Completely screwed up setting up WinCVS following the outdated instructions at jakarta and decided to get back to this tomorrow.

I probably wouldn't start with jcvs. For Windows, a good place to start is with PuTTY and WinCVS or TortoiseCVS. (I haven't used TortoiseCVS myself but TortoiseSVN is excellent.) For Unix, the standard command line version might be simplest.

A good place to get "your feet wet" is with a SourceForge project, since the procedure there is so well documented.

You might try getting an anonymous checkout of, say, struts.sf.net first, to confirm that you have a working infrastructure, and then give Apache Struts another try.
