I already submitted a patch for the obvious URL errors in the project.xml (I hope I did it correctly, as it's only my second patch submission).
When I invoke maven, it complains about not finding commons-validator version 1.1.1-dev, so I tried modifying that to use the last version instead (1.0.2). It's a good thing I remembered someone mentioning commons-validator and the maven build. Looking through my messages I found this:
I've updated project.xml to reference the validator 1.1.1 jar. You need to manually download it from http://www.apache.org/~rleland/ and place it in your local repository.
If this is going to persist, maybe it might be worth a common in the project.xml? If I wasn't paying attention to the list, I wouldn't necessarily know where to get the updated version. :)
I got a lot of deprecation errors, but otherwise, both the default jar:jar and dist goals finished! So with minor caveats, even a maven novice can build struts. That's great considering.

Sorry.. The default target is currently set up as jar:jar That will do everything that you need it to. So all you have to do is:
//step-by-step-build-struts-with-maven.readme 1) Download maven 1.0 rc1 from http://maven.apache.org 2) Add a maven_home env variable that points to where you installed maven to 3) Add ${maven_home}/bin or %MAVEN_HOME%\bin to your path 4) Optional: set MAVEN_OPTS=-Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=org.apache.xalan.pro cessor.TransformerFactoryImpl This is not really necessary as I set the path for the xalan TransformerFactory in the maven scripts but could save you the hassle with other projects that might require xalan. 5) checkout jakarta-struts. NOTE: At this point you do not need to have anything in your classpath. 6) cd to jakarta-struts root 7) invoke either: - > maven by default runs jar:jar which will simply jar up struts-1.2.0.jar into your maven build directory (currently set to ${jakarta-struts_home}/m-target) - > maven dist this task will create not just the jar but also create a ${jakarta-struts_home}/m-target/distributions Directory that has zip and tar.gz versions of the bin and src distributions
I have been really busy the last few weeks and haven't had a chance to help Joe or to complete the distributions. So it will not include all the items from the current ant build but at least you don't have to manually set anything in jakarta-struts anymore :)

Any chance someone wants to throw together a step-by-step-build-struts-with-maven.readme?
cd your-struts-dir maven build
Anything much more complicated than that defeats the purpose of using Maven.
