I would go with 1.1 for the following reasons: 1) Many of the features being added to 1.1 have been around for quite a long time as contributor extensions (such as Tiles, Validator, Indexed tags) and are therefore already stable and some changes are just organisational - i.e. moving BeanUtils, Collections and Digester to the commons project.
2) The quality of code in this project from the committers, IMHO, is high (we started developing last year with version 1.0-beta and had no real problems). 3) The committers are pretty responsive in fixing bugs, so I believe any serious problems you encountered would be sorted quickly. 4) Its an open source project which gives two benefits a) there are many eyes looking at it so if you had a problem, there is a good chance someone else will also have had it and have a solution and b) if they don't fix it, you can always sort it out yourself. 5) I don't know what the timescale is for a 1.1 stable release, but from the 1.0 experience, I would be surprised if it wasn't released by August/Sept - maybe one of the committers could give a more concrete opinion on this. Having said all that were still using 1.0, but thats because we have a whole load of code in and working with that version and haven't looked at migrating yet. I think a key question for you though is, how important are the new features for you? There is some pretty good stuff in 1.1 that I wouldn't want to miss out on if I was starting now - the key things we found lacking in 1.0 and there now in 1.1.
