Whoa, where did that one come from? I was just begging for such a plugin yesterday on #struts from Richard Burton, who is working on an MVEL one. I could see Struts 3 == new taglib + JUEL + robust rest and codebehind.
As for the problem of so many combinations of plugins, I'm all for the proliferation of plugins, but do think we need to not ship with two plugins that solve the same problem. For example, it would be confusing to ship with two codebehind plugins or two expression language plugins, especially since the latter could require its own taglib. The distribution we ship as official Struts 2 should stay coherent and focused.
