Don already put the Struts SourceForge site on Forrest, so I would lean
in that direction.
Does Forrest require that look and feel? If so, I'm -1 only because it doesn't match the new Jakarta look and feel. I think Struts should fit in with other Jakarta sites. Also, it seems like most other Jakarta projects are using Maven so maybe we should too.
Strictly from the selfish point of view of a developer wanting to minimize
how many tools I have to use, I'd prefer Maven over Forrest simply because
it's also a build system. Or, to put it anothe way, using Maven as a
build system will give us a website/docs publishing system for free.
Visually, I'm not a huge fan of either system's default L&F, but I don'tWe can always start a struts-2 web site and tweak it until we like what we have,
dislike either of them enough to vote -1 on that basis. My understanding
is that there is some room for customization with either, though, if we
wanted to expend the effort to manage our own L&F.
or until it works, which ever comes first ! I also wouldn't want to maintain a seperate
look and feel.... except to move the blasted [powered by Maven] icon to the bottom of
the page with other icons like in forrest.
The argument for consistency with other Jakarta subprojects is good in theory, but I don't see most Jakarta subproject websites using either yet -- at least for their pages on jakarta.apache.org. It would also not be an issue if we ever wanted to become a top-level Apache project (like Maven and Ant did), versus staying under Jakarta.
