In the documentation, we've been referring to "Struts Action Framework
2" to correlate with the common acronym SAF2.
I would agreed that there's no obvious reason to retrofit the numeral to SAF.
Based on this logic, term "Java" should correspond only to pre-JDK 1.2
stuff. Indeed, this is how it was before June 2005:
"The Java 2 platform has been an incredible success. Introduced as a
major revision of Java technology in 1999, its editions -- the
Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, Micro Edition, and Java Card
(which never adopted the "2" in its brand name) -- have become
standards in their development specialties.
Today, 86 percent of tech-savvy consumers recognize the Java
technology brand. One in three consumers would rather buy a PC or a
mobile phone with the "Java" logo. But the "J2" brand doesn't mean
anything to consumers, according to a November 2004 report from
Momentum Research.
Over the last few months, the Java marketing team met with a large
sample of the Java partner community, and the majority were in
agreement with the idea of simplifying the naming system for the Java
2 platform: Drop the 2. Expand the acronym. Say "Java." " [1]
Don't we want to learn on others' mistakes? Or this *is* a plan for
Struts, to rename SAF2 to SAF sometime?
