My preference would be to see a tighter integration of Stripes alongside
other up-and-coming, popular stack and development components. Basically,
making Stripes even "cooler" by integrating it with other cool things. Off
the top of my head -- in no particular order:
* Tight Stripes and ExtJS / Dojo integration. Right now, there is no simple
way to do a thick JS application using Java. Exposing ExtJS components
through Stripes JSP tags to me would be *huge*. Nobody is doing this. I
could easily see something like <stripesextjs:textfield> or
<stripesextjs:gridpanel>.
* Eclipse or NetBeans plugins for Stripes development. Also, Eclipse and
NetBeans starter project templates. When doing project creation, we have
something akin to "File > New > Stripes > Stripes Web Project". All
libraries should be automatically downloaded. Custom Stripes errors or
warnings should be thrown in the IDE during development. Things like action
bean events not bound to anything. <s:link> or <s:form> actions with
invalid or non-existent action beans and events... et cetera.
* Google App Engine integration.
* Project and domain object scaffolding ala Grails or RoR. It would be cool
to go to the command-line and enter "stripes generate scaffold customer". I
have my action bean(s) created, my JPA entity beans, and my JSP. I love
Stripes, but when it comes to domain object CRUD you still have to write
brain-dead code with Stripes.
As I said in a prior post... I think Stripes is *done* (feature complete) in
terms of it's original goals. It has some bugs that need fixed... but aside
from that. It is finished. In my opinion, Stripes needs to have tighter
integrations with other things. With compelling projects like Grails, Roo,
JSF, and Seam out there... Stripes has to do more to partner with other cool
and exciting technologies.
