Frans, for your first question, I don't think we have an 'official'
snapshot repo. If we do, I wouldn't trust it... Recently I was
reconfiguring our hudson builds (nightlies) to use a newer version of
Maven and when the build gets to the step to deploy the snapshots, it
failed quite miserably. It's something I'm going to address when I
have a bit more time. The nightly zips are still available here -

http://people.apache.org/builds/struts/nightlies/2.x/

Those zips are up to date. However, if you are comfortable with Maven,
it's pretty easy to build from source. To build, I'll suggest a few
things -

1. Use maven 2.2.1. We recently discovered a problem running a test
within one of the plugins. Using 2.2.1 takes care of the issue.
2. Use Java 6. One of the plugins requires the compiler tools
(javax.tools.?) which isn't available in 1.5.
3. When you are building, specify -DskipAssembly otherwise it will try
to mirror the docs from the wiki, which will take a lot of bandwidth.

Lastly, at some point today, I am going to point Struts 2's pom files
to xwork 2.1.6 (rather than the snapshot) so you will be able to build
without also building xwork.
