Thanks Alexandru and Ted for your support. Actually, it turned out I had to configure the proxy in the SVN client's configuration files. It was the first time I use SVN with a public repository, and I thought that it was smart enough to detect the proxy settings from IE; my bad.
Actually, I needed the source to submit a patch as I didn't know how to create a patch using source files that have not been originally checked out using SVN. The file that I wanted to patch was "web.xml" in the blank application, but it turned out the part I wanted to fix was already removed in the latest revision :) -----Original Message----- From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 9:36 PM To: Struts Developers List Subject: Re: Problems checking out the source If there's not a particular reason why you need the latest code, the source code bundled with the Struts 2.0.1 beta is current as of last month. * http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts201 Perhaps that will be enough to get started on whatever it is you want to do. -Ted.
