I know it is not officially released yet, but it is available:
1.2.1 is now available too.
AFAIK neither of these are their stable releases, just snapshots… correct me if I’m wrong.
I don’t mean Stable as in “they don’t crash” I mean “official”.

1.2.1 is announced as Jakarta Beta meaning that if there are no errors reported than the code will be declared stable without a change or a new release.
I guess you can start adding it to MyEclipse releases with a howto on how to replace them with the stable release jar files manually (so that we don’t have to wait until the next MyEclipse release).

Robert,
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check with the Struts dev to see if we can keep this an open P1 priority for the GA release, so if Struts 1.2 final comes out before we release, we can throw it in.I’d only suggest to include struts 1.2 version side by side with existing 1.0 and 1.1. The main reason is that 1.2.x breaks a lot in terms of source code compatibility with 1.1 – they’ve removed most of their depricates, etc.

When we add 1.2 support you are correct, it will be a new version that users can configure.
And when will that be? 🙂 Soon I hope 🙂

I think you could just start supporting 1.2.1 beta as it is… there is a good enough chance that this version will be GA.
And if not, you would not have to change too many things, the feature-set is supposed to be frozen, there will only be bugfixes in the release compared to the current beta, so very probably you will have to replace the jars at most (which can even be done manually by the user if you provide some info on how to do that, so that no one need to wait for the subsequent ME release).

I can just see it now… Struts 1.2 ships GA after they make 2 more changes that introduce compatability issues and then we get a slew of emails “The new ME version breaks my Struts projects!”
Nope, I think we’ll play it safe…
Its comming, we are just waiting for an official announcement: http://jakarta.apache.org/
ok sorry.. i thought, this was an offical announcement:
from http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news/elsewhere-2004-2ndHalf.html#20040831.1
