Description

StrutsLinkTool's parent class has been changed to be o.a.v.t.view.LinkTool, which is the preferred LinkTool to use. That new class has many methods (such as setRelative) removed but that remain in the old class (in the o.a.v.t.view.tools package).

StrutsLinkTool should inherit from the deprecated version of LinkTool in order to maintain API compatibility with 1.4 and prior releases.
