There were no objections to your proposed reorganization, so IMO the
thing to do is try it and see what happens.  Preferably in the test
repo. :)  We don't need history for this, so svn export/svn import
should do it.  (https://svn.apache.org/repos/test)  If not, maybe Sean
can help; he did the same thing for MyFaces before they switched to
Maven 2.

Minor issues:
 * I think Struts EL and Taglib should stay in separate jars because
you only need Struts EL in a Servlet 2.3 environment.  (Further, I
thought there was some technical reason they could not be combined.)

 * Faces doesn't compile against the latest code.  It's complaining
about RequestUtils.selectModule(...).  Right now, it depends on Struts
1.2.2.  Also, its
Maven 1 build is not finished.  It's probably best to leave it separate for now.

I can't take on the reorganization project, but I have time to help
with the build if you need it.  I made some comments in the proposal
thread about removing the svn:externals, etc.

And, thanks. :)
