Again, there is no reason to think that the writer did not see this. This is a response that fails to address the problem by assuming (as a "straw man" or a "red herring") with no evidence at all that the writer was not aware of this rather obvious fact that people not even involved in the IT community are well-aware of on a daily basis. The question was about the Struts community and not the writer. The writer should be aware from answers like this that something is amiss.
