Craig,
  I know this issue came up about a year ago that struts-faces
wouldn't compile against the latest version of Struts (I think it was
a validator issue).  It makes sense to me that it should always work
with the latest version of Struts.  I think it would serve the project
well to cut a *.0 release of struts-faces and give it a 1.1-1.2.x
compatability...after that put it into maintenence mode.  Then cut a
new *.0 release that brings struts-faces up to date with struts
core...

I haven't been following faces too closely lately...has it gone to 1.x
yet?  If so, maybe this Struts dependency change to 1.2.x should
denote a v 2.0?

I totally understand that the target audience for struts-faces is the
developer trying to migrate a struts app off of struts to jsf.  I have
a hard time (and sort of balked at struts-faces because of it)
commiting to a path that may force me to run my app on struts 1.2.x
and 1.3 in paralell if I decide later that JSF just won't get it done
for me.  Basically I just mean that I am forced to limit my options if
I use struts-faces, and I thought the spirit of the library was to
increase my options.

My $0.02
