if anything it should help.  the new vel-struts tools offer more and better
functionality.  however, i think what will mostly help you is more/better
documentation on how to make that migration.  sadly, i'm wholly unqualified
to do this (at least at this point) as i've never used Struts/Jsp.

i don't know anything about SelectTag, but i wonder if that sort of thing
isn't something that can be translated into a Velocimacro...  perhaps we can
put together a library of velocimacros that use the vel-struts tools to
mimic
the struts taglibs?  something like that could potentially be a big help in
making the migration from Struts/Jsp to Struts/Velocity.

me too.  i've been around Velocity for some time now, but in regards to
frameworks, i've come from Turbine land
