Please create Jira issues for any of these you find... I went through and tested on WLS8.1 around beta1, but not since...

I > > know behind the scenes it's impressive but the UI of the > initial page > > was very unorganized. I took a stab at a new layout: > > <http://jira.opensymphony.com/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=WW-468> > > I think in the long term it'd be cool to clean up the demo pages > > themselves a little and also explain a bit better what > exactly each demo > > does. I can file an issue for this. > > > > 3) The JavaDocs are pretty bad. A few choice examples: > > > > * com.opensymphony.webwork.WebWorkStatics, > > com.opensymphony.webwork.dispatcher.ServletDispatcher - no > comments. > > Also a number of other core classes have little or no > JavaDoc comments. > > > > * 10 classes had comments of "DOCUMENT ME!" > > > > * com.opensymphony.webwork.dispatcher.ChartResult - class comments > > are: > > "bchoi To change the template for this generated type comment go to > > Window - Preferences - Java - Code Generation - Code and Comments" > > > > * Javadoc title on main page is 'webwork' and not > 'webwork2' - there > > are > > also no package level comments. > > > > I don't mean to be picky or anal about this but I *know* this stuff > > isn't hard to do and it would make a huge difference in the overall > > quality of WW2.
