I've found the ViewCVS site (available at; http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-struts/ ) to be really useful. It provides a good way to browse all the source code, plus allows you to go back and view any version of any file from any release.
The only thing this lacks is a quick method of viewing whatever current build is on your own particular machine - for that you'd need to use java2html. To accomplish this, the 'java2html man page ( http://olympus.het.brown.edu/cgi-bin/dwww?type=man&location=/usr/share/man/man1/java2html.1.gz ) provides quick directions for setting up a cgi script to allow conversion 'on the fly' - in other words, you could pretty easily install the apache web server on your machine directly (assuming you haven't already), define a site that points to your source directory and browse the source code that way - the man page directions show you how to have java2html convert pages on the fly as you select them. Our you could just run java2html manually - As David mentions, I use an IDE (Eclipse) - this allows both browsing and integration with cvs directly.

Please respond to "Struts Developers List" I don't see much use for this. IDEs are much better than browsers for looking at source code.
