Specifically, I need to find out the versions of the
commons libraries that are part of the Struts 1.1
distribution. I am using the display tag library
(www.displaytag.org) and found that it has a
dependency on the 2.0 version commons-lang.jar file.
Struts 1.1 has an earlier version than that and I'd
like to check the versions of the other commons
libraries to see if I need to upgrade to newer
versions of them as well.


You're best bet is to un-jar each library and look at META-INF/MANIFEST.MF 
in each. Often there will be an Implementation-Version property defined 
which will tell you the version of the library. I'm not sure how 
consistently the commons-* libraries supply this (and I've seen at least 
one case where the Implementation-Version was incorrect) so you may need to 
fall back to comparing file sizes against the distribution jars :-( I don't 
know any more reliable approach than that...

Doh! That's certainly a lot easier! :-) Thanks for the pointer Wendy.
