After the changes I just added, I don't think annotations will change much from now on, if any. We could set it up somewhere else (googlecode?) and avoid both the subproject and the multiple release problems.

An independent community is simply not going to form around something that's buried inside of Struts. We've already seen that in the past. I know this is a bit of a Catch 22 situation, but unless we actually allow for reuse in the first place, as we do today, there is very little chance that it will ever be reused. Therefore I would prefer to see the annotations stay separate. -- Martin Cooper Archetype was original setup as a separate entity, but it might be > simpler to reduce the number of independent artifacts being released > by the project.
