Is the Struts Action Library what the Struts Classic release page on the wiki is about? If not, I'm now quite confused about what Struts Action Framework, Struts Action Library and Struts Classic are. I still believe we decided to not use the Struts Classic name, so I'm hoping we're down to just the other two.

That so many things can be done without anything on your local disk is one of my favourite things about SVN. IMO, such a tag is going to be the only reliable way to connect the version number to its precise content. -- Martin Cooper Of course, if that sounds like fun to someone else, hey, go for it. > But to me, it sounds like too much work for too little utility.
