2.1.8 release?

What's keeping it from being released?

being its own artifact makes more sense, it would make releasing the two much 
easier, on second thought I agree with this. My only real concern is that I 
can get to it w/o struts. The context I am working with now doesn't fit well 
with struts, and adding struts means I would have to do even more work getting 
a base configuration so that xwork can run actions. One example that sticks out 
in my mind is that when I run actions, each action execution gets its own 
thread and one of the results I built for this project launches from 1 to 
infinite more actions. Obviously it wouldn't make sense to chain to multiple 
actions in a web-app and since a view is rendered in struts, having actions 
run in a separate thread wouldn't work well in a web-app.

I was going to ask if anyone was using it outside struts, but that
doesn't prevent us from making it it's own artifact.

I don't think this would fix the problem, which is the duplicated
effort on the builds. A good compromise would be to keep it under its
own artifact under struts, just like core, that way we would need just
one release and it could still be used independently. I haven't cared
much before, but if it will make our releases easier/smoother, then I
am +1 for it.

I hate to be a nay-sayer here, but I, for one am using XWork outside of struts 
and think it has some really serious potential as a command-pattern framework 
outside of Struts. I just started using it recently and to be honest, I had to 
jump through some hoops to get it working because it seems like we made some 
compromises for struts (removing all of the bean definitions from xwork-
default.xml). I actually have some plans for xwork as soon as I get my current 
project released.

That being said, I don't think I'd mind if we moved it into apache-space... I 
think it would benefit from apache's infrastructure. If we made it a top-level 
project maybe in the asf repo, next to struts1 and struts2 that would be cool 
because all struts committers would have easy access to it, but it could 
retain it's identity and I could keep running it in a back-end (read: non-web-
app) context.

Ok, why aren't we bringing xwork into Struts 2 again?

Free time on Rainer's hands, when xwork gets released then 2.1.8 can
be released.
