Thank you for the reply. I still don't understand why there are two active branches, especially since JDK7 was EOL some time ago.
If the 2.3.X line is going to be ended soon and the 2.5.X line is the future then I'd like to get our Struts apps on 2.5.X But if 2.3.X is going to be maintained for the next 1-2 years then I'd feel comfortable updating to 2.3.X Another consideration is that all our newer web apps use Spring MVC and do not use Struts 2. We only have some legacy web apps that still use Struts 2. If the time commitment in converting from Struts 2.3.X to 2.5.X is high then we might as well just convert those apps to Spring MVC. It would be great if the Struts 2 PMC would publicly state what the future plan is for Struts 2 or if there is already a published plan please let know. Bruce On 2017-09-18 10:15, "Jason D.
