That was a bug in the BeanUtils 1.6 release, which at the time the
manifest version number needed to be updated manually (and it was
forgotten):
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-31
With Struts 1.3.x the dependency jars being distributed are no longer
being re-named, so they indicate the version number in the jar name
(commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar rather than commons-beanutils.jar) so
hopefully there will be less confusion.
P.S. The Struts user guide lists the dependency versions for each release:
http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.9/userGuide/installation.html
http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.8/userGuide/installation.html
http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.7/userGuide/installation.html
http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.4/userGuide/installation.html
