We couldn't even if we wanted to, since some of our plugins require
JARs under an incompatible license.

One thing we should work toward is a separate -plugins distribution.
The -lib distribution should only contain the requisite dependencies
(FreeMarker, OGNL, XWork, Struts2-Core, and Struts2-CodeBehind), and
all the (other) plugins should  be in a separate distribution.

Luckily JasperReports and JFreeChart are not included. However I see
different non-Apache packages that are not included in the NOTICE file
and whose license is not included.
Time to open an issue.

This rings a bell: I think that we include JasperReports (LGPL IIRC) in the
distributions. I will check it ASAP.

I wander how the structure of this distribution could be, something like:

plugins
+-- plugin1
  +--struts2-plugin1
  +--dependency1
  +-- dependency2
+-- plugin2
  +--struts2-plugin2
  +--dependency3
  +--dependency4

Thoughts?
