Have fun !

Why not ? Lots of persons use Servlet API 2.2 and it would be good to ensure
that it works all the time : imagine that JUnit changes an interface, then
cactus jar for Servlet API 2.2 will not work anymore.

My proposition for the file names is :
a) add version number for releases only. Ex: cactus-22-1.0.jar,
cactus-src-1.0.zip, ...
b) for every nightly build, create a directory named after the date (ex:
2001-04-04). Put the files into that directory with no version information.
Ex: cactus-22.jar, cactus-src.zip, ...
c) a release is done by manually copying the files in a given snapshot
directory to the release area (by the way, what will be the location for
releases ?).
Question 1 : who creates the snapshot directories and copies the generated
files into them ? GUMP ? Or my build.xml file ? I'd prefer it to be GUMP as
snapshots seem to be more it's responsibility. Tell me what you think
Thanks a lot.
