Which version of Ant for Struts?
Which version of Ant do I need to build Struts?
The Installation page on the web says "version 1.1 or later", while the
Struts README says "you *must* use a version later than the Ant 3.1
release". Now, the latter seems a bit off, since version 1.1 appears to be
the only Release build available. So is version 1.1 what I need?
I guess what I really want to know is whether version 1.1 is sufficient,
and if not, why not. I'm considering using Ant for my own project, but if I
do that, I really want to use a Release build, and not a nightly build.
Thanks!

Ah, yes ... I need to update the Sruts docs. The <style> task is optional, so
it must not be getting built in to the release distribution of Ant.

Unfortunately, it seems that it doesn't, now that the Struts documentation
is in its new (XML/XSL) form. Although the Ant "style" task is documented
in Ant 1.1, if I try to build Struts, I get a ClassNotFoundException
because it can't find a class called
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.XalanLiaison. If I use the latest
Ant nightly build, it works fine.

The "3.1" reference should really say "you *must* use a version of Ant later
than the one included in the Tomcat 3.1 release ...".
Ant 1.1 should work just fine.
