...

The Java 1.4.x zip file can be found (i.e. struts-2.0.x-j4.zip) :

What else must you do ?

There is a backport folder located in the j4 zip file.

Altenatively, you can find the backport files here:

In summary the steps you should perform:

...

• folder into your WEB-INF/lib folder. I got the files from the backport folder in nightlies which i copied to ... \WebContent\WEB-INF\lib

java -jar retrotranslator-transformer-1.0.8.jar -srcjar xwork-2.0-beta-1 -destjar xwork-2.0-j4.jar

• invoke translate.bat
• It is important to note that you will have to replace the following jars mentioned above with java 1.4.x equivalents:
  struts2-core-2.0.1 with struts2-core-j4-2.0.1.jar
  struts2-api-2.0.1 with struts2-api-j4-2.0.1.jar
  xwork-2.0-beta-1 with xwork-2.0-j4.jar

Note: You can either use the translate bat file to get j4 jars or get it from the j4 zip download.
