I finally figured out how to work around what seemed like an OGNL bug, and in trying to track it down to submit a patch/JIRA issue, found that it's already been fixed by Musachy and checked in last November 6th in the opensymphony xwork svn, (revision 2075). In fact, the method causing me grief has never even been in the apache svn version of xwork. The issue was fixed during cleanup Musachy did as related to this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3306

But we still have no release including that fix. I recognize that I've not helped resolve any outstanding JIRA issues that would help us get 2.2 out the door (and that I've even contributed to the delays as the author one of the 5 remaining unresolved issues that is mostly awaiting unit test code I should have submitted with the issue in the first place (WW-3260) https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseVersion.jspa?id=12311041&versionId=12314680&showOpenIssuesOnly=true ) so please don't see this message as just another "When's the next release coming?" whine.

I'm posting this more to ask for people's opinion of the state of the trunk, with the xwork package migration already done. Are there any real regressions? That short list of outstanding issues doesn't appear to include any that would effect me, so is there any real reason for me to avoid just doing a local build and developing against that? Given that I've a workaround in place for this specific bug in the released 2.1.8.1's xwork 2.1.6, is there really any reason to develop against the trunk rather than that release? Has anyone started working on "2.1 -> 2.2" upgrade instructions yet?
