How Eclipse recommends their plugin versions, for RCP apps: a distro
such as 3.1 "can" have modules (plugins) that have different versions,
but the recommended way is to push the distro version to the plugins, so
whatever plugins were 3.1.4 or whatever become 3.2.0 in the next distro.
People understand that there are not necessarily new features, but I
guess it signifies that the 3.2.0 suite was tested together, which is
nice to know. Of course 3rd party plugins (not spearheaded by eclipse)
are completely free to use their own version cycle, such as
org.junit_3.8.1; for example the ant plugin to eclipse 3.1 is
org.apache.ant_1.6.5.

I guess I long for simplicity. I'm cool with the way everything is
structured. I would prefer a version number on the distro. And to
me it seems more natural to start it with 1.3.0. That's what we're
doing with the Tiles subproject. Even though it's really release 0.1
of the Tiles subproject itself, we just called it 1.3.0 to be done
with it and not have to answer the "Where's Tiles 1.3?" questions.
I think people will be confused if they download struts-core-
library-1.0.0. And I think struts-core-library-20051103 will convey
the idea that it's not really "done" yet. But that's my opinion and
it's not really a big deal to me.
One queston: Will we ever release the distro again? Or will each
subproject just release independently? It seems like all the stars
will have to line up in a unique way for there to ever be a
coordinated distro release after the first one. So maybe the distro
doesn't need a version number or a date stamp. Maybe it's just a zip
file that people download that gets the latest release of all the
subprojects.

Why wouldn't there simply be a distro called Struts that includes
Core
(which happens to map to the core subproject) and the original seven
subprojects, plus the three new ones if you want?
There is. But, it is not named "Struts" because Struts is now the name
of the project, and the project also includes Struts Shale.
