Right. That references "Struts Classic" and "the library distribution". But it doesn't indicate whether those are the same thing or not, and certainly doesn't answer my questions. It was in response to seeing "Classic" still in the wiki page that I initially brought this up as a reply to the wiki change message. So here are the terms I believe we should be using: * Struts Action Framework - The framework in general, including all relevant subprojects * Struts Action Library - A numbered collection of versioned subprojects * Struts Classic - In the trash can. We don't use this term, ever again. > IMO, such a tag is going to be the only reliable way to connect the > version > > number to its precise content. > > Per the release plan, the Library is not going to be "versioned".

But tell me how you're going to check out the source that corresponds to Struts Action Library 1.3.1_04 without dredging through that bundle of jars and doing individual checkouts of all of the separate subprojects.

That was simple with 1.2 because we used the version tag. It should be as simple for 1.3 using the ordinal for the library as the tag. -- Martin Cooper If someone wants to setup such a tag, feel free.
