What about the stuff that's shared across multiple taglibs
(org.apache.struts.util.*, org.apache.struts.action.*, and so on)? I
haven't checked them all, but I'd be surprised if *any* of the tag
libraries can stand on their own without needing the proposed
struts-core.jar anyway.
IMHO, having more smaller pieces makes life harder, not easier -- it's one
of the few negatives for using commons-*.jar instead of the old stuff that
was all right there waiting for you in struts.jar.
