You can exclude XWork in your pom.xml, then declare a dependency on what you
want. I do it all the time with Spring... The Struts2-Spring plugin brings in
2.5.3, but for a while, there was a reason to get 2.5.6 (I'm trying to
remember the issue, but it was a bug with a persistence-related class in
2.5.3). Anyhow, here's an example -
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.openjpa</groupId>
<artifactId>openjpa-persistence</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
<artifactId>geronimo-jms_1.1_spec</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
<artifactId>geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
<artifactId>geronimo-jta_1.1_spec</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
(sorry example doesn't relate to the rant above, but the same idea). Once you
exclude some libs, you, of course, have to bring something in to take it's
place.
