[ANN] Struts Downloads Skyrocket in 2007

[Ted Husted <hu...@apache.org>]

[Apache Struts Group] Since its release in June 2001, Apache Struts
(struts.apache.org) has become the most popular web framework for
Java. Six years later, by any objective measure, Struts is still
Java's most popular web framework.

In February and March 2007, the group released both Struts 1.3.8 and
Struts 2.0.6 to the general public, and Struts downloads zoomed to
over 340,000 a month from the Apache site alone [1]. And this is just
the tip of the iceberg. Most copies of Struts are downloaded from an
network of mirrors or obtained from Maven repositories. Meanwhile,
monthly page Views for the Struts website soared to over 2.1 million,
up from levels of about 1.3 million page views in June 2004.
Subscriptions to the Struts mailing lists hold steady at about 3,000
accounts, not counting people who use services like Nabble and GMane.

Since the framework's debut, well over twenty books about Apache
Struts have been published [2], along with hundreds of online
articles, and dozens of third-party extensions [3]. Books and articles
devoted to Struts 2 are already appearing. InfoQ has released
"Starting with Struts2" both as a free PDF and as a hardcopy book via
LuLu.com [4]. Mark Menard has started a Struts 2 cookbook [5], and
sites like Rose India and ArcTech are offering extensive Struts 2
tutorials [6]. Many teams are already moving Struts 1 applications to
Struts 2, including the popular Apache Roller blogging application
[7].

An exciting feature of Struts 2 is configuration-free plugins.
Third-party components can be added to the framework just by putting a
JAR on the Java classpath. In fact, many of the framework's advanced
features are provided by plugins that ship with Struts 2. A plugin
repository site is open to the public [8], and several plugins are
already available, including plugins for JSON, WebFlow, Google Web
Toolkit, and Guice.

While there is no lack of choice in the Java framework space, the
clear winner with grassroots developers is still Apache Struts. With
first-class support for Ajax, JSF, unit testing, and dependency
injection, Struts 2 is an excellent choice for teams that want to step
forward, without stepping away.
