JSTL (and JavaServer Faces, when it becomes available) require Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2, so they are not even an option for a very significant portion of the Struts user community. Thus, it would be irresponsible to abandon our focus on ensuring the quality of the Struts tag libraries -- and this would be true even if Struts was a commercial product instead of an open source package.
With respect (too :-), what criteria should/would the (developer) community use to strike a balance, both ensuring the quality and relevance of Struts taglibs (JSP 1.1 dependent) and migrating users gradually to JSTL (JSP 1.2 dependent)?
For instance, in a recent feature request:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17535
As David, the recently crowned MVC (what an acronym), pointed out the requested feature for <bean:message> is already available in JSTL <fmt:message>. Is there an easy litmus test for Struts users to guestimate if an enhancement is worthwhile requesting?
