Legacy APIs - Short Term Plan
Once upon a time, we were maintaining a legacy copy of the Struts API
because a big gap had developed between the nightly build and the last
stable release. There doesn't seem to be a need to continue doing this,
and I'm planning to remove the legacy APIs from CVS.

The current Javadocs are bundled with the documentation, in the
struts-documentation.war. :)

You don't need a container to unzip a file.

While your at it how about actually including the javadocs in the
distribution (or the source dist).
A static html version of the other struts docs that doesnt require you to
crank up a servlet container everytime you want to check something would
also be very nice.

People who wish to do this can maintain their own local copies (and save
some of the bandwidth people kindly contribute to us). Maintaining them
through our web site just confuses people.
It made sense when there was a big gap between releases, but, hopefully,
those days are past.

By "API" do you mean javadocs? I've found it useful to compare Sun's JDK
javadocs between versions and I imagine some people would like to compare
Struts versions.
