ok. I'll align myself with this "tradition" :)

ok. Thus, that would mean.
1)
www/jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/release/commons-cactus/v1.0-b1
/commons-cactus-1.0-b1.zip
- that's the full disto excluding sources. Meaning it will contain :
commons-cactus-22-1.0-b1.jar
commons-cactus-23-1.0-b1.jar
commons-cactus-ant-1.0-b1.jar
commons-cactus-sample-22-1.0-b1.zip
commons-cactus-sample-23-1.0-b1.zip
commons-cactus-doc-22-1.0-b1.zip
commons-cactus-doc-23-1.0-b1.zip
Do you think I have to redo my build file to have a directory structure
instead of zips or jars ? Like :
commons-cactus
|_ 22
|_ doc
|_ lib
|_ sample
|_ 23
|_ doc
|_ lib
|_ sample
|_ README
2)
www/jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/release/commons-cactus/v1.0-b1
/commons-cactus-src-1.0-b1.zip
- that's the sources
3)
www/jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/release/commons-cactus/v1.0-b1
/ant.zip
- that's the prepackaged Ant application with the correct jars already in
the lib directory. That's to help newcomers.
Notice that I have removed the single distribution of jars. That's fine with
me.
