Work Description: jdyer1 commented on PR #778:
URL: https://github.com/apache/struts/pull/778#issuecomment-1811521489
I think I have solved the problems with Freemarker and Sitemesh by using the
eclipse transformer maven plugin [1]. To make it work, I added two new
projects that transform the jars to Jakarta EE 9+ compliant versions.
Downstream projects then depend on these new projects. As far as I can tell,
this works a lot like the shade plugin.
Unfortunately, eclipse is not able to recognize the transformed jars so it
shows many compile errors. I spent a lot of time today trying to find a good
solution to no avail. It seems IntelliJ has the same issue.
As a workaround, I can select "Maven > Disable Workspace Resolution" on the
struts2-core, struts2-tiles-plugin and struts2-sitemesg-plugin. Clearly this
is a bad permanent solution.
Perhaps someone reading this has encountered a similar situation before and
they can improve on my work here and make it work seamlessly for everyone.
Seamless is the key especially for an open source project!
One final note, Struts uses Sitemesh2 which is stuck forever it seems on
"javax.". There is a Sitemesh3 that supports "Jakarta." but it seems the
migration would be non-trivial.
