Re: "coming out" for JSF + Struts, was: Struts JSR?

[Michael McGrady]

I have to agree.  I am somewhat accomplished at programming, but I have 
limited "administrative" talents.  I would have contributed a lot, but I 
just have not been able to talk myself into spending my time learning how 
to get what I need to help.  This is no excuse.  I still feel guilty as 
hell.  But, this is, I would guess, the major block to most people who do 
not contribute.

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. ;-)
