+<p>As I worked on web based projects I started looking for something
+that would really help save time during development. I ran across
+Struts in the Summer of 2000 and
+decided it was a good solution for web development. As I used Struts
+it really helped to remove a lot of the repetitive work,
+but validation still seemed very repetitive.
+I had an idea to create validation rules in an xml file and have them
+easily integrated with Struts. It started out simple and continued to
+develop over time. The validation project was eventually incorporated
+into Struts and the core was moved to Jakarta Commons. I'm happy to see
+Struts continue to grow and develop.</p>
