Re: Struts Release - contrib missing
Just as a point of personal preference, it seems like removing massive feature sets from a 1.x.x release is a little misleading. But I don't use any of those libraries in a production app, so I can't say it wouldn't really impact me.

Re: Struts Release - contrib missing
Michael, I take your point, but in the (CVS) past all we had was a contrib directory which we just dumped into the source distro. However now (in SVN) we have a much more flexible repository and some of the things that were in contrib are now sub-modules and are on their own path to release. For example struts-faces, struts-el and struts-flow are now modules el, faces and flow and struts-chain is now incorporated into the core - you can download nightly builds of all these here: http://svn.apache.org/builds/struts/maven/trunk/nightly/ ...and at some point they will have their own release and distros. Other things that were in contrib are currently in the sandbox and they face the evolutionary test - either they'll survive and get promoted or they will go the extinction route. At this point in time (before any 1.3.x releases) I think its a case of making a sensible judgement between compatibility with previous releases and not worrying too much about what was in large part sandbox code. For anyone where this is an issue, then all of these things are still available through the SVN repository.

I've added an SVN externals definition so that struts-chain is included in the core/STRUTS_1_2_BRANCH - its being pulled in from sandbox/STRUTS_1_2_BRANCH/struts-chain Niall - Original Message - From: Niall Pemberton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 12:29 AM The last ga Struts release (i.e. version 1.2.4) was done from CVS and the contents of the contrib folder were shipped in the source distribution.

Re: Struts Release - contrib missing
Also now added an SVN externals definition so that struts-faces is included in the core/STRUTS_1_2_BRANCH - its being pulled in from faces/trunk sub-project, following a conversation with Craig McClanahan. So as it stands now the source distro for 1.2.x will include a contrib folder with the following in: /struts-chain /struts-el /struts-faces Niall - Original Message - From: Niall Pemberton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 12:29 AM The last ga Struts release (i.e. version 1.2.4) was done from CVS and the contents of the contrib folder were shipped in the source distribution.
