Struts 1.2.1 is blocked on the full release of its commons-validator dependency (1.1.3). Of the open bugs, by my assessment, only a one looks like a showstopper that should be resolved before a release:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29004
I reclassified some others that I definitely didn't think classified as blockers; If you're interested in helping, you could look at the rest and see if you can fix them (it's fine to fix non-blocker bugs, of course) or help confirm them or otherwise clarify the issues.
I think commons-validator is just blocking on someone having time to be the release manager.
IMHO it's not just commons-validator that's the issue any more.
1. craig is very busy right now preparing for the release of project rave at javaone
2. over the next few weeks there will be releases for most of the major struts and validator commons dependencies (logging, beanutils and digester). the beanutils and digester releases are important not only for the bugs they fix but also because they allow the removal of the commons collections dependency. this dependency is an issue now that there the 3.x series of collections releases are incompatible with the 2.x series. the logging release is important since it'll work with the new 1.3 series of log4j releases.
with a bit of luck, everything might come together.
if anyone does have some free coding time and would like to push the struts release along, beanutils is the most difficult release and some extra help would be appreciated there.
