OK, I am clearly not understanding what you are suggesting. ;-( You asked if it would "make sense for Struts to have a repository for such things, even if they are not in the distribution". I interpreted that to mean that you are suggesting that they go into the Struts SVN repository, but not into the builds - like the code that lives in 'contrib' today.
Apparently, that's not what you're suggesting. So perhaps you could clarify what it is that you _are_ suggesting? ;-) If it's not in Struts SVN, and it's not in Struts Applications at SourceForge, what - and where - is it? -- Martin Cooper On Fri, 26 Nov 2004 19:53:22 -0800, Dakota Jack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 26 Nov 2004 18:24:41 -0800, Martin Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Fri, 26 Nov 2004 16:39:51 -0800, Dakota Jack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Whatever the fate and whatever the nature of this submission, having > > > this sort of development available to users and to developers is, I > > > think, a definite plus.
