The ant build for the mailreader apps has not been updated yet (in progress). This is a moving target, so don't plan on doing this for a week or more. I'm moving as fast as I can.

As an alternative for now, you can build all of the apps with Maven. Installing Maven is trivial, it's the same as installing Ant. Once you do that, (assuming you have the svn client already installed and did a co on the 'current' pseudo branch of Struts) you can build core, taglib, and then apps.

Like this: (from "current") cd core ant dist (this generates the .tld and copies needed files for apps) maven jar:install cd ../taglib maven jar:install cd ../apps svn up (I just committed a small fix to the taglib dependency....my fault, sorry) maven apps:build-all

This builds 3 apps (so far) blank mailreader examples

each subproject has a target where you'll find what you need.

I run the webapps straight from where they are built...like this (part of my conf/server.xml in tomcat)

... ... <Context path="/mailreader"
docBase="D:/cygwin/home/jmitchell/svn/struts/current/apps/shared/target/mailreader" debug="0"/>

<Context path="/blank" docBase="D:/cygwin/home/jmitchell/svn/struts/current/apps/blank/target/blank" debug="0"/>

<Context path="/examples"
docBase="D:/cygwin/home/jmitchell/svn/struts/current/apps/examples/target/examples" debug="0"/> ... ...

There is still a lot of work to do on the repository. I am moving as fast as time allows.

I do want to thank you for trying things out, this really helps us iron out issues like this.
