Yes, I agree that is a good idea. I'll have a look and see what is involved.

I'm currently in the research phase for a portlet project at work. We
already have a fairly large struts 1.1 project which, due to some custom
extensions, people have always been a little scared of migrating. I've
implemented changes to migrate to 1.2.9, but there are quite a few
deprecated methods/classes in 1.2.9 that are used in our main code base that
have been removed in 1.3 and I didn't want to attempt the migration just yet
- partially because it looks like a lot of work to do on a research branch
and partially because the struts bridge is targeted at 1.2.7.

We settled on the struts bridge early on and initially I was using 1.2.7
(since that is the supported version), but liferay ships with 1.2.9 so I
moved to that version.
