You consider Struts to be minimalist? I certainly don’t – they fold in database connection pools, message bundles, form validation, JSP taglibs, and all sorts of other weird stuff which distract from the web-MVC pattern. I’m a big fan of the Apache process, but there is a definite tendency towards scope creep in Jakarta projects.
Yes, I think Maverick is considerably simpler than Struts. The API is a lot smaller, and there is considerably less code. I’ll also throw out a fairly bold statement – Maverick provides (either already or by adding best-of-breed technologies available on the net) a superset of the features of Struts.
I don’t know what you mean by your second question. What do you mean “more powerful”?

I was checking out the home page on Maverick this morning and am left with a few questions. You claim that Maverick is a minimalist MVC which is one of its strengths. You also mention that was designed with pluggability and extendability in mind. I have worked with a few frameworks, not Maverick yet, and I found some to be very large like Expresso and others to be mimimalist like Struts, so do you really feel that Maverick is even MORE easier and basic than Struts or are you referring to these others larger frameworks when making that claim? And next yet related, which claim do you feel is more powerful, the mimimalist of the framework or the pluggability it has? Thanks Kris
