(In case you are wondering what the hell is going on in this list, the
developers of Struts are having an unusually long and seemingly
irreconcilable difference of opinion (aka: flame war) about the current
long term development and marketing strategy of "Struts".)

First you have to understand this:  "Struts" is more the name of a
development group now, no longer a single piece of software: there are 3
pieces of software that are now each vaguely being called "Struts". 
This has only emerged this last year, and the dust is yet to settle. 
Currently some people are having anurisms wrapping their brains around
it, some people are having anurisms trying to alert people to it
happening, some people are having anurisms trying to stop it happening,
and some people are having anurisms listening to the people having
anurisms. 
Here's a note from an earlier mail as to the Struts version situation to
help you make a start, because if you don't understand this early,
you're going to find it very peculiar reading aged public tutorials and
then looking at the sourceforge website:
