Can you please tell me the end-of-life date for Struts 1.1?  Thanks.

And, I suppose you can also reach out to "hire" a release manager to
patch, build, and release if it is absolutely necessary for your
company. It never happened to me, but many companies do pay people to
work on Apache projects.

To complete what Paul have written, a support contract never existed,
this is the point of a community-developed software.
Anyway usually at Apache we continue to support/fix the latest GA
version of a software. In the case of Struts 1, it is Struts 1.3.10.
So, you are encouraged to upgrade to Struts 1.3.10 and, if you find a
bug, file a JIRA issue and, if possible, post a patch so it will be
fixed ASAP.
In the case of Struts 1.1 (and even 1.2) your only way to get it fixed
is downloading the source code, fix it and build it yourself.

Ciao
Antonio

Jason,

I refer you to my previous answer. With the source code freely
available, you are willing to alter it and submit pack patches at
will. We are already at Struts 1.3.10 and 1.4 is in the oven, and
2.0/2.1 is hot. As for 1.1, it is pretty old so I would upgrade -- at
least to another 1.x -- if you want continued benefit.

In other words, when will feature/bug fix/security fix updates be ceased.

Joseph,

Struts is run by a non-profit organization and work is done by
volunteers. I do not believe Apache has any "end of life" policy. You
are free to use it forever.
