== How to Help ==

Everyone in the Struts community, users, developers, and committers, is encouraged to test a release, report any issues, and post to dev@ any comments on the overall quality of the release.

To help everyone get started with Struts Action 1.3.3 (when it is available), here are the simplest installation instructions that can possibly work:

 * Download the Struts 1.3.3 distribution from http://svn.apache.org/dist/struts/action/v1.3.3/ (when it is available.) (Until then, try a [http://cvs.apache.org/builds/struts/maven/trunk/nightly/struts-action/ snapshot].)
 * Extract the distribution to a likely location (/opt/struts-action-1.3.3)
 * Install Java and set JAVA_HOME 
 * Install Maven 2 and set MAVEN_HOME
 * Install Apache Tomcat 
 * http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsMaintenanceMaven
 * Change to the new folder (e.g., /opt/struts-action-1.3.3/src)
 * $ mvn
 * Wait about five minutes for Maven to download and build everything
 ** If you see any error messages, please do a quick search of the mail archives and/or post them on the Dev list, and if they appear to be newly introduced issues, a Jira tickets will need to be created so we can track and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.  Oh, and THANK YOU for your help.

The Commons [http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/prepare.html Preparation Guide] is a helpful preparation backgrounder, but Commons
uses the "beta/release-candidate/final" process.

Likewise, the [http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html HTTPD Release Guidelines] is a helpful "overall process" backgrounder,
but HTTPD does not use a test-build stage.
