Two weeks ago, I tried to build the struts 1.1 source package against
commons-collections-3.0.jar in order to run the unit tests and insure struts
still worked properly. After several hours of trying to set it up and make
it work, I finally gave up. There is definitely room for improvement in the
build/test process. Like those who posted before me, I don't care if it's
ant or maven, only that it works.
As a counter-example, on the Cayenne project we have 24 external jar files
that are stored in "otherlib" on CVS, but at least the project builds and
tests "out of the box."

Do you have the energy to try again with Maven? It should be as
simple as adding a couple of lines to "build.properties" in your
local Struts CVS sandbox:
maven.jar.override=on
maven.jar.commons-collections=3.0
