If it doesn't start, Tomcat will generally leave some error messages in the log files. These would be tremendously helpful in debugging your
problem.

Actually, all the steps are required to use the entire framework, including the use of the example application -- the (*) steps are the only ones required
if you take struts.tld and struts.jar, and want to use *only* the custom tags, not the MVC framework. In other words, the custom tags themselves do not
require an XML parser.
Yes, that's pretty confusing. Yes, it will be changed :-)
Good luck with Struts!

Hi Craig, thanks for pointing that out to me, I hadn't thought of that. Actually I have now got the struts working, I installed Xerces and once I did
that, tomcat came back up. I'm a little surprised that this worked because in the Installing and Using Struts section of the README file, downloading
and installing an XML parser is not marked with an * to indicate it is a required step. Should it be or was it just a fluke that installing it fixed
my problem? :)
