Interim Notes on Cobbling a Distribution

...

Assembling a Struts 2 distribution is not fully automatic. For the time being, there are a few extra steps.

  • Extract assembly to a root drive (\struts-2.0.

...

...

  • .zip
  • Extract archive under the docs folder

Create updated archives for

  • struts-2.0.x-docs.zip
  • struts-2.0.x-all.zip

To update the Java 4 distribution, we need to

  • Copy the "backport" folder that is under SVN.
  • If needed, update the translator JARs and translate batch file
  • If needed, update the translate batch file as to the Struts version
  • run the translate batch file
  • update struts-2.0.x-j4.zip archive

Obviously, we'd prefer that the entire build process was automatic, as it has been before. But this is how things stand right now.
