Joe, I like your philosophy :-) My question is why is Shale under
the Struts banner? As far as I
see it, it has nothing to do with the Struts community, minus the creator.
That's not true; there are other committers who have done work under Shale.
It's not even a
revolution. It addresses a wholly different problem set and I think
it's wrong to call it
"Struts". Imagine, as an analogy, the brouhaha if Tapestry suddenly
began calling itself Struts
Tapestry because it's a framework too! I think "Struts" Shale wholly
confuses the brand name. I'd
like to see it be it's own man -- call it Jakarta Shale or Apache Shale.
And either of these might happen some day. In the meantime, what
trouble is it to you?
Why don't we hear any sniping about the project to wean Tiles from
having dependencies upon Struts? It is similarly at the periphery of
struts-core.
What's the big deal? I know this thread has [FRIDAY] written all
over it, but there's all this other sniping about Shale that doesn't.
Why not leave it be and put your (collective) energy towards building
something you want to use instead of kibitzing about something you
don't? There are plenty of open tickets for Struts 1.x, a world of
discussions that can be had about moving Struts Titanium forward, and
a handful of other web applications that probably need volunteer
efforts as well.
