+<h3><a name="20020612"></a>12 June 2002 - Artimus 0.4</h3>
+<p>
+An updated version of the Artimus example application is now available at:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="http://www.husted.com/struts/resources/artimus.zip">www.husted.com/struts/resources/artimus.zip</a></li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+See the README.TXT to get started.
+</p>
+<p>
+This application demonstrates some of the design strategies discussed on the list recently:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>The business tier is represented by a set of "ProcessBeans", dispatched using the Command pattern.</li>
+<li>A framework Action is used to dispatch the ProcessBeans. The bean type is specified using the parameter property. </li>
+<li>The framework Action (ProcessAction) returns a data transfer object (ResultList), designed for use by the presentation layer.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Other goodies include:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>SQL commands are stored in external properties files and can be changed without recompiling.</li>
+<li>All SQL commands are processed through a pair of easy-to-use static methods.</li>
+<li>ResultSets are automatically transferred to a collection of beans. </li>
+<li>A connection pool adapter allows use of the Struts connection pool from the business tier (and I said it couldn't be done :o). Other pools (Poolman, Resin, et cetera) may be configured through the web.xml. </li>
+<li>Lucene is used side-by-side with JDBC to provide better searching when appropriate. </li>
+<li>A helper servlet is used to load custom resources so ActionServlet does not need to be subclassed. </li>
+<li>Application settings can be configured through the web.xml or a properties file.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Most of these come out of the updated Scaffold package that is bundled in this distribution. The versions of Artimus and Scaffold in the Apache-Struts CVS will be updated shortly.

+<h3><a name="20020611.1"></a>11 June 2002 - Struts Builder v0.4 beta</h3>
+<p>
+The SourceForge project "RiverNorth" has released Struts Builder v0.4 beta.
+</p>
+<p>
+"Struts Builder" is an Opensource tool (GPL license) originally developed
+for internal use to aid in development of Struts-based web applications
+(1.1 style). The standalone Swing application allows users to create from
+scratch and/or import existing Struts 1.x struts-config.xml files, modify
+them via a forms-based GUI and generate the shell code including JSP/HTML
+pages, web.xml, struts-config.xml and java source files for Actions and
+ActionForms classes required for an implementation. I'm currently working
+on transferring info from our internal bug tracking system to the source
+forge site.
+</p>
+<p>
+Planned future enhancements include creating plugin versions for popular
+IDEs, XMI import/export for WebUML, and the addition of a purely visual
+component for visualizing/editing the application model.
+</p>
+<p>
+The tool is available at: <a href="http://rivernorth.sourceforge.net">rivernorth.sourceforge.net</a>
+</p>
+<p>
+This project is actively seeking feedback and contributors.

Ted,
Not sure if you saw it or not, but I also fixed bug
8240 so it can be closed. Also 6619 is ready to be

> Struts Builder v0.4 beta</h3>
> +<p>
> +The SourceForge project "RiverNorth" has released
> Struts Builder v0.4 beta.
> +</p>
> +<p>
> +"Struts Builder" is an Opensource tool (GPL
> license) originally developed
> +for internal use to aid in development of
> Struts-based web applications
> +(1.1 style). The standalone Swing application
> allows users to create from
> +scratch and/or import existing Struts 1.x
> struts-config.xml files, modify
> +them via a forms-based GUI and generate the shell
> code including JSP/HTML
> +pages, web.xml, struts-config.xml and java source
> files for Actions and
> +ActionForms classes required for an
> implementation. I'm currently working
> +on transferring info from our internal bug
> tracking system to the source
> +forge site.
> +</p>
> +<p>
> +Planned future enhancements include creating
> plugin versions for popular
> +IDEs, XMI import/export for WebUML, and the
> addition of a purely visual
> +component for visualizing/editing the application
> model.
> +</p>
> +<p>
> +The tool is available at: <a
