Well, in a perfect world, Shale and TI they would depend on Core ;-) But who wants to create dependencies for dependency sake? You're correct, now of course we already have the struts-core (requestprocessor) subproject living next to shale, without dependency. So we don't really change much in t

So I guess Struts Core is not Core after all. If that's the case, too bad for all the good work in the request processor. Shale won't use it, and probably TI neither? Or is Shale the odd one out? If it is, I guess you could say Shale is weakening the stature of Struts. I understand, but I se

Ted, Another trigger might be a revolutionary change to the feature set. If we did everything that's already on the 1.3 to 1.5 roadmap, I could see going to 2.x then. To me chains.xml, decompose and adapt the request processor and ability to use Commands instead of Actions is a revolution. G

That's the thing, Ti, Shale are subprojects like Tiles, and should be understood as such, which means keeping the naming of Struts CORE strong. Here, the core has really evolved to a new version. And it's a very strong core. Just comes to my mind that CORE could be read as "Chain Of REsponsibil
