-----Original Message----- From: Ray Clough [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 June 2007 17:17 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Struts 2.0.8 upgrade question Sorry for the unjustified criticism. It is going to be difficult for people to get the correct jar, as it is not a link on the Tiles site. I had to guess that the 2.0.3 download url was a mod of the 2.0.4 url, and fortunately, it was. - rc > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Al Sutton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <user@struts.apache.org> > Subject: RE: Struts 2.0.8 upgrade question > Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 07:34:00 +0100 > > > Ray, > > The tiles-jsp jar was an addition between the tiles release in S2.0.6 > and Tile 2.0.3, the packaging script therefore didn't include it and I > only raised it after I was testing 2.0.8 when the call for a vote on > 2.0.8 had already gone out.
