Strecks requires JDK 1.5 and I don't believe we're ready to make this a minimum requirement for Struts at this point in time. So at the moment I don't believe it could be anything other than an optional add on. If it was a separate Struts sub-module then obviously it would have more credibility - but starting out as a sourceforge project seems like a good plan IMO. Phil may correct me if I've got this wrong, but I believe it was his aim to provide this functionality to existing Struts 1.2.x users and has developed it based on the 1.2.x code, rather than 1.3.x. In fact I believe it would have been easier to develop it for 1.3 - but that wasn't his aim. If there are things we could change to make integrating Strecks easier then Phil is welcome to submit patches through bugzilla. We would prefer them for the current code base (1.3.x) - although theres no reason why 1.2.x changes can't be requested, except there may be no appetite for further 1.2.x releases. If there is interest in changing Struts to accomodate Strecks, then it would be more appropriate to continue discussion on the dev list though.
