Let me state the blindingly obvious: 1. Validator works. Other people seem to be able to use it. 2. Validator is not perfect. Valid bug reports would help make it better. 3. This is a community project. There is no Us and Them, only Us. And, for better or worse, that includes you.
Since you've not posted any bug reports about validator I can only assume that you are either (a) blowing hot air, or (b) incapable of describing the bugs you say you've found. If you aren't capable of making a meaningful contribution, please at least don't waste other people's time with your nonsense. I'm not going to spend any more time batting this back and forth with you. If you are prepared to provide constructive criticism and/or help improve Struts, you'll find many people willing to accept your help and to offer theirs in return. If not, well it's pretty easy to filter you out.
