Duplicated classes in nightly distributions

[Matthias Kerkhoff <ma...@BESToffers.de>]

Hello all,

is there a specific reason to not delete obsolete classes (or sources)
in the nightly distributions ? Especially the form tags reside now
in taglib/form/. but the previous (outdated?) versions can still be found
under taglib/.

How about adding an appropriate notice to the docs? It would make it much
simpler to keep track, what should be used and what not. Regarding the
form tags, this is somewhat obvious, but there are other cases which
are not so obvious. (Is @deprecate available for whole classes ?)

Although the obsolete tags should not be used in new code, they are used by
anyone who has developed code under Struts 0.5.  To ease conversion to 1.0,
I'd like to leave them in for the 1.0 release, and remove them (along with
all the deprecated methods) in 1.1.
