Oleg Mikheev commented on WW-3366:
----------------------------------
The first thing that Maven users not familiar with Struts2 do is try to create
a project from an archetype using the command from the online documentation.
Please make them happy.

> 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).
