How do I find Struts version?

Recently while working on a J2EE project, I had to know the Struts version being used. The IDE used was Rational Application Developer. I couldn’t find an option in IDE which tells me the Struts version it is using!

The only way I could see was to open the struts.jar in Winzip and inspect the Manifest.mf. It showed Implementation-Version : 1.1. This means that RAD by default uses Struts 1.1.

I wanted to use the latest stable version of Struts (which is 1.3.5). Hence I deleted all the jars from WEB-INF/lib and then copied new jars from struts-1.3.5-lib.zip. Thats it!
