My point is that this type of prognostication doesn't help Struts in any way that matters. What helps is people rolling up their sleeves and doing the work. Given the vast numbers of developers using Struts, I'm constantly astonished at how hard it is to find more people willing and able to do the work.
For me, the main discouraging thing about contributing to the development of Struts has been the build process. In the past, you had to download all of jakarta-commons and spend a day or two figuring out how to get that to build. Recently, I tried to build Struts and was successful using the Maven stuff. Personally, I don't mind using Maven, but I don't know that it should be *required* to build a project from scratch. I'd love to be able to cvs co Struts, navigate to jakarta-struts and type "ant jar".
I realize this is no easy thing to accomplish with a build file - but it has been the most discouraging factor for me. ;-)
