Unfortunately, there is a source to that false rumor. Some of those
so sanguine about the conduct of some members and the Struts community
might want to consider how this happened and to make sure it does not
continue.
Maybe we should start up the whole JSF thread again?
Just kidding.
But seriously: nobody said they got no developer attention:
"I would caution new projects, however, to *not* use the Struts HTML tags. That part of Struts has received fairly little developer attention, and should be considered legacy at this point."
They have gotten _some_ attention, which is nice, but they haven't been as aggressively refactored as much of the real framework has, which has certainly caused me extra work. Not refactoring work, either; no time. But it might happen.
Developer attention or not, the Struts HTML tags are fine for many purposes, and unless you want to manually include their functionality on every JSP page (eeeeew!) or write your own that duplicate the logic but are easier to extend/etc. (smaller eew) and you don't want to switch to a different view methodology (possible eew), I don't see any real alternative.
