In the beginning, we bundled the MailReader application with Struts. Between 
1.0 and 1.1 we added a few other small examples. In 1.2, we combined these into 
a single modular example.  For 1.3, we intend to extract a number of items from 
the core, including the four bundled applications (Blank, Examples, MailReader, 
and Tiles).

There are some notes about 1.3.x here 
<http://struts.apache.org/roadmap.html#Struts_1_x_whiteboard>, and some in a 
recent post that hasn't been integrated with the website yet 
<http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=29427>.

Personally, I'm finding very difficult to maintain the framework without 
working examples. The "Exercise" module is a helpful place to put code to prove 
something is broken, and then prove that it's fixed, but a full-fledged 
Cookbook Examples application, like the one Steve Reaburn setup, would be even 
better.
