Makes sense to me. Would we bundle the second-tier plugins in our release or just the first tier? Would second-tier plugins each get their own release cycle, share one together, or be linked to the main Struts 2 release cycle? Don On 8/20/07, Paul Benedict <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all.

Hi all. I think the Spring framework has a great model for this kind of problem. They call it the "Spring portfolio" which is the Spring Framework (proper) and then subprojects for very special criteria (security, web services, etc.). We all know Spring is pretty good at integrating technologies,

I disagree with moving the Spring plugin outside of the core set of plugins. I think a lot of people use Spring and it would be a shame to not have it as a core feature. Keep in mind that I think we run a huge risk (IMO) of plugins being unmaintained if we set them free, however, I'm more tha
