Hi everyone,

I would like to hear much more about what you would find valuable in tools
that automate Struts development. We have a tool called ObjectAssembler that
supports Struts in the following ways:

 - Visual creation, importing, and editing of Struts components (Actions,
ActionForms, Plugins, etc.). You can also edit the code and the two views
will synch up.
 - Visual creation, importing, and editing of Struts configurations
 - Automated generation of associated XML files, and packaging with
accessory files in the WAR
 - Real-time validation of your Struts configurations as you work

Similar functionality is available for WARs, EARs, and EJB JARs. Importing
whole assemblies is not yet supported but would not be difficult for us to
provide. Once imported (assembly descriptor, components, and accessory
files), the real-time validation would then passively display any warnings
or errors with any possible corrective actions as it does now.

The web development edition (which includes Struts functionality) is free of
charge for anyone to use. Version 2.0, which supports Struts 1.1, will be
released next month (JBuilder and Netbeans/Forte editions). Anyone who is
interested in seeing a beta before then should contact me directly. I think
I can speak for all Struts tools providers in saying that you should
regularly mention what features you would find valuable. Feel free to dream
all you want - perhaps some of them will become a reality sooner than you
think!

By the way, would anyone be interested in the same kind of support for
Validator, Tiles, etc.?

Actually, what I would find more interesting is a "struts aware" tool that
lets you load/mount a war file.
Then the tool/module would rip through it and produce all my documentation
and (UML) workflow diagrams.

As well as produce a "recommended.htm" that lists common mistakes and/or
configuration issues.

Yaa yaa, I know, I'm dreaming.
