David,

        The example I used was just a random file.  I am not an expert at
web cvs so I don't know how to get a the time a tag was made or an overview
of the difference between two tagged versions.  However you can use the
anonymous cvs access to the Jakarta site you could pull the STRUTS_1_1_B2
tag for the library code that you were interested in for debugging purposes.
The fact that the example I used shows 1.4 and the b2 tag on the same
version of the file means that for that file there were no differences
between the version 1.4 and what was used for beta 2 on that <st>one</st>
file, no guarantees about other files for the library without checking each
one of them.  (and for example the release notes are different between the
tags
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/beanutils/RELEASE-NOTES.tx
t) 

here is the link on how to access cvs anonymously
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html

Ok, that's useful.  I also happened to notice that the MANIFEST.MF of each
of the commons jar files have a "Implementation-Version:" field.  The value
of this field seems to correspond to versions of each of the commons
libraries.  The value for "collections" was "2.0".  However, the value for
"beanutils" was "1.4-dev".  Does that mean "1.4", or something before "1.4"?
Your link to the CVS log seems to indicate that beanutils 1.4 was used for
Struts 1.1b2, but this label in the manifest makes me wonder a bit.
