When you say "Just use Dojo" do you mean to drop Struts 2, or to just use Dojo
in the JSPs that I create for Struts 2?

Just use Dojo.

Antiquated version of Dojo (0.4.3). More difficult than practical to
customize tag-based Dojo: personally, I'd rather just write pure
JavaScript-based Dojo--I'm pretty good with JavaScript, and can fit the
pieces together more smoothly.

It's a layer between Dojo and S2, with a bunch of JavaScript abstracted away
in a JSP tag library. Yes. Because of the version of Dojo, because of the
complexity of customization (that may just be my opinion, by the way),
because of the daunting complexity of rewriting the plugin for the newer
version of Dojo (lots of changes; would have been easier to start over, and
nobody signed up to tackle that), because of the maintenance challenges.
There are probably a few other reasons.
I'd appreciate any pointers on how to use Dojo with Struts 2.
