Although I agree in theory, looking at it from a practical point of view, that wouldn't make sense. Nobody seems to be interested in using XWork outside Struts(yes, yes except that dude), and the proof is that it didn't actually work until the other day.

To say it has no value outside of Struts, I believe, downplays its ability to be an independent framework / dependency injection container. I am not for binding it to Struts. I would vote for being it's own independent Maven module or vote for it to join Apache Commons. On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 7:3

Well, it shouldn't be in the struts2-core jar, but it should be in the main Struts project as something like struts2-xwork.jar. There is little value trying to bring it in as a new subproject with its own release cycle. I really don't understand the resistance to completely getting rid of xwork.

If XWork can remain as an independent Maven project, that's good enough for me. I don't care if it gets built only when Struts gets built. I just hope we don't import Struts into XWork. So I am +1 with Musachy. Paul On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 2:30 PM, Musachy Barroso wrote: > On Mon, Aug 10, 2009

If we bring XWork here and it becomes its own subproject, it will have its own release cycle. This will allow people to use XWork independently of Struts, but it means there is still a separate release cycle, independent of the Struts 2 release cycle. Thus we're in pretty much the same situation as
