Thanks Niall, It only took a week but you've just said is the answer I was hoping to hear. This sounds really positive. I agree with Phil and others that Strecks should be an extension to struts. But, I take heart in hearing you and Ted supporting it's existence and actively encouraging Phil to submit requests for changes that will assist in keeping it in sync with the current struts branch.
What is important is that key people are supportive of struts extensions being developed for the Struts 1 branch.
