That's what I have ended up doing.  Some projects don't need struts and do 
use commons-xxxx, so I've ended up with duplicates where a jar may be in 
the 'struts' group as well as in it's own group.  I still wonder how other 
people do it considering that the ibiblio repository is not strutured like 
that.

Why not just use a groupId of struts for the commons jars?
