I might as well make this its own proposal: I propose we consolidate the
'extras', 'el', 'taglibs', and 'faces' subprojects under the 'action'
subproject. We would keep the extensions as separate, but include them in
the 'action' subproject meaning they will continue to share the same
version
number and release cycle.
Just to see if I understand... There would be a single "Action" entity,
that contains all of these? If you download "Action" you get extras and
el and taglibs, etc.? In other words, what has been the case for some
time would still be the case, except that we call the entity "Action" as
opposed to "Struts". Is that correct? If so, definite +1 from me.
Yes, but really, it wouldn't, from an end user perspective, be much different than now. Currently, you have this Struts
Library Distribution, or whatever it is called now, that contains all the extension jars in addition to the Action 1
jar. In this proposal, you'd still have that distribution to download, only now, you wouldn't have to worry about the
version number of each component matching up.
think a very good one. I recall there being a fair bit of concern raised
when the decision was originally made... if some of those concerns have
come to fruition, quite possibly because other things happened in the
intervening time (was the WW merger on the table when this was decided for
instance?) then reversing the decision makes sense.
The subproject split was way before the WW merger, and IIRC, I was the one that did the original SVN moving arounds at
ApacheCon two years ago. The emergence of Action 2 changes things completely, and IMO, the reasons we split as we did
aren't valid anymore. I don't see it as much as a reversal, but a new evolution. We are still keeping many of the same
subprojects, just consolidating the Action 1-specific ones ahead of the Action 2 start.
