* What about the new Apache license? Technically, it doesn't need to change if we release before March 1st, but we're mighty close to that, so
+1 from me too; wasn't someone offering to do it a few weeks ago?
At this point I don't see any reason to ever build against commons nightlies unless we're using some unreleased feature.
+1 on this as a baseline -- only depend on nightlies where necessary, not as a matter of course.
> Several of the Commons componentswe depend on have released since we last did, so we may want to update the versions in our dependency list.
Collections is a particularly ugly situation. Do we upgrade to 3.0 and break existing Struts apps requiring 2.x? Or, do we stay at 2.x and break apps needing 3.0?
I missed the details of this Collections change and its incompatibility, but I don't see why we'd upgrade to 3.0 unless we need it: same as with nightlies. Are there bugfixes rolled into 3 along with the incompatibilities? I'd say we either make a collections-2 branch that has bugfixes but maintains compatibility, or pull what we need back into Struts. Without knowing the details, it sounds like a serious mistake/judgment error was made in releasing 3.0, but we shouldn't subject all Struts users to the consequences.

They used to work, but I can't recall what I might have changed to break it. Anyone have any ideas? Obviously, I don't want to
I was able to run the ant/Tomcat 4.0 tests up to the point where they always fail for me:
org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.TestCookieTag.testCookieTagNameMultiple -- I have to assume this is some kind of local configuration problem, but I'm not hanging. One day I hope to have time to figure out the problem, but I'm far from a Cactus expert.
(Has anyone tried running the Struts cactus tests with Maven? I had gotten it to the point where most of the tests passed, and the ones that didn't I suspected were similar to my Ant/Cactus failures -- something local, not something in the code.)
