== Special Issues ==

Struts Classic 1.3.0 is a "bootstrap" distribution of the new Struts subprojects extracted from Struts 1.2.7.

Struts Classic 1.3.1 incorporates updated versions of the six subprojects. At this point, the subproject release numbers may start to diverge, and not every subproject will be at the 1.3.0 level.

== How to Help ==

Everyone in the Struts community, users, developers, and committers, are encouraged to test a release, report any issues, and post to dev@ any comments on the overall quality of the release.

To help everyone get started with Struts Classic 1.3.1 (when it is available), here are the simplest installation instructions that can possibly work:

 * Download the Struts 1.3.1 distribution from http://svn.apache.org/dist/struts/classic/v1.3.1/ (when it is available)
 * Extract subproject distribution to a likely location (\opt\struts-*)
 * Install Java and set JAVA_HOME 
 * Install Maven and set MAVEN_HOME
 * Install the Cactus Plugins and Apache Tomcat 
 * * http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsMaintenanceMaven
 * Change to the Struts Build folder (e.g., \opt\struts-build)
 * $ maven
 * Wait about five minutes for Maven to download and build everything
 ** If you see any error messages, see if they are known issues by comparing your log with ours at http://svn.apache.org/builds/struts/maven/trunk/nightly/logs/

The Commons [http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/prepare.html Preparation Guide] is a helpful preparation backgrounder, but Commons
