hibernate is something else altogether, hibernatedoclet is a great help. Having you relationships defined in the class saves darting around several files, and also generating the xml means that it undergoes preliminary validation.
Maven. I just haven't had the silly amount of time required to get anything going with this.

I don't see what advantage using XDoclet with Struts is? If someone can show me how it helps I'd love to see it. On this one project I inherited, it uses XDoclet with Struts and it makes things worse. For example, I like having a nice config file that I can modify (strut-config), yet with XDoclet, the struts config action mappings are generated by action mapping definitions defined at the top of the actual Action opbjects. That makes no sense to me. Now in order to change a return value, you have to modify source code versus just modifying a config file. I can see the benefit for XDoclet in other projects (ie EJB code generation) but for Struts I still haven't found where it helps, but I'm willing to be enlightened:)
