I agree with you but it would be nice to have some kind of consensus around the direction the build is going. I trust Don's judgement that Forrest is a good tool to use but I didn't want the build to increase in complexity. We can apparently plug Forrest into a Maven build which I think is great. There's only so much time we each have to spend on Struts. I'd rather not spend much time learning the build process.
