Has anyone made a web page comparing the plugins?, if it took a while to get to grips with it's probably worth offering users a page with something like a checkbox grid feature comparison.

It could also help some of us understand what each one does ;).

+1

I think that this plugin is of great worth to every day development. I would like to echo some other people's sentiments that a unified plugin would be a significant value add to new struts developers. I know that there is much overlap and confusion between:

1. Zero-config
2. Code behind
3. Smart urls
4. REST
5. Convention

It took me a while to mentally model the differences / similarities between them all , and surely I can't be the only one :)

I understand that ideally plugins should have high cohesion and low coupling... but having so many options does more harm than good in this case. IMO this is an example of plugin fragmentation that should be resolved with a unified, best-of-breed approach, leaving the other plugins as they are for those concerned about deprecation.
