BTW, I'd like to thank Musachy for taking charge of this. Having started
my own company in Feb. I have barely had time for anything open source.
Hopefully this can make it over and users can jump on board with it. It
really makes Struts2 development so much simpler and JCatapult is
essentially only supporting Struts2 with this plugin.

From a 10,000 ft view it looks like Convention would be the successor to
Zero-Config and Code-behind based on functionality. Possibly a deprecate in
2.1.3+ and 2.2, with a view to drop in 2.3/3.0?

I don't think there is any page that compares them, quick overview:
Code-behind: Provides default mappings for pages without actions,
default results (finds templates based on action name and result)
Zero-Conf: Provides annotations: @Result, @Namespace and
@ParentPackage to create action mappings
Convention: Provides default mapping for actions and results.
Annotations: @Action (results, interceptorRefs...), @Result,
@InterceptorRefs, @Namespace,@ParentPackage, @ResultPath, it also
created default package actions based on convention (Index)

Has anyone made a web page comparing the plugins?, if it took a while to

to grips with it's probably worth offering users a page with something

a checkbox grid feature comparison.
It could also help some of us understand what each one does ;).

+1
I think that this plugin is of great worth to every day development. I
would like to echo some other people's sentiments that a unified plugin
would be a significant value add to new struts developers. I know that
there
is much overlap and confusion between:
1. Zero-config
2. Code behind
3. Smart urls
4. REST
5. Convention
It took me a while to mentally model the differences / similarities
between
them all , and surely I can't be the only one :)
I understand that ideally plugins should have high cohesion and low
coupling... but having so many options does more harm than good in this
case. IMO this is an example of plugin fragmentation that should be
resolved with a unified, best-of-breed approach, leaving the other
plugins
as they are for those concerned about deprecation.
