I guess I'll add my voice to this thread to say that I feel the same way. The activity level here seems to dwindling. Major new features are a rarity. I almost never see interesting blog posts about stripes or references to stripes on the wider web any more. Even on this mailing list, desipte a really helpful community amongst the loyal folks here there doesn't seem to be much futuristic discussion about stripes, it is all just solving small issues, minor problems. The documentation which used to be excellent now has a slightly disorganized feel, like a garden that is growing weeds. A while ago I posted about a patch to add a new annotation to stripes - and got zero responses (for reference, see http://www.badboy.com.au/stripes/import.html). None of these things by themselves is a problem but they all point the same, slightly worrying way - it seems like Stripes has lost its "mojo".
And the sad thing is that I would probably have second thoughts about recommending Stripes now purely because it unclear to me what the future of it is. I don't know what the solution is. Perhaps Java web frameworks are just not "sexy" any more so there is no way to fix this (anyone interested to see Stripes morphed into a Scala or Groovy based solution?). Perhaps there is no problem at all and we should all just go on using Stripes and be happy with it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
