My comments:
1. Include maven archetypes for the corresponding version in each struts2
release, I mean, maven stuff should be in the release checklist: do not release
until the corresponding maven stuff is developed, tested and uploaded to maven
repositories.
2, Anyway, if it is valid to use a different archetype <version>, state it as
part of the documentation. For instance, state tha version
"-DarchetypeVersion=2.0.11.2" (or whatever) will also work for 2.1.8.1 (or
whatever). This is useful to developers not familiar to maven.
Maven archetypes usage should be devoted more attention, they can be very
useful specially if we bear in mind that struts2 ide plugins are not supported
in struts2 project (but maybe I'm wrong).
