As a Struts user I would rather not wait for the mavenization to hold up the 1.2.0 release niether. As a Maven user though I can get the Struts release packages to look just like the awesome release target that Martin built for the ant process (Look at my maven.xml patch in bugzilla for an example on how to get maven's default dist target to do what we like). I'm kind of having a hard time finding time to do it right now but I'm sure it would be ready for the next Struts release (after the initial 1.2.0 release :)) Currently I can 'hack' the release to look identical to the current release but I didn't want to do that just so that we can use maven to build a release. I agree that the web apps and contrib needs to be separate projects but since I'm not a maven expert, I don't know what the 'best way' of doing things are. So if someone has an opinion about it.. please speak up.

My opinion is "not bad, but more work required". As far as I'm concerned, the Maven build is still experimental and not ready for primetime. It might be an option to build the website from Maven in the (very) near future, but I think we'll need to do some restructuring before the library build will work with Maven. (Separate out the taglibs, web apps, contribs into separate sub-projects). I don't think we should let the Mavenization process hold up the 1.2.0 release. There's a lot of changes waiting to get out and I think it best not to combine those with a change in the build process. Hopefully, we can integrate it into the build as we move forward through 1.2.x. For maintenance purposes, the live documentation is still in docs. Don't bother trying to maintain xdocs yet. I hope we'll be able to translate the docs in place & maintain the history. I'm not sure the end is in sight yet, but I'm now more confident now that the end is achievable with Maven :-) Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: November 29, 2003 12:31 PM > To: Struts Developers List > Subject: Re: Maven test run > > > David Graham wrote: > > You're going to delete the old versions in /doc right?
