Joe,

What, specifically, would you recommend to replace Struts? We have invested quite a bit of time in developing a framework around Struts and this isn't the first time you have mentioned that it was passe'. Not that I want to throw out our investment in Struts or start going mano a mano over Struts (I prefer Freemarker myself). I truly would be interested in knowing your thoughts, pros and cons, about Struts.

My primary beef was that the "configuration file madness" around that framework. Seemed to me that most of the heartburn was getting the proper xml files updated (perhaps that would be mitigated by a better plugin in Eclipse). What would you use as an alternative and why? (if you don't mind me asking)

If you want to shun WDSC's support, the two books below are pretty
thorough.

In general WDSC is not a bleeding-edge Open Source development tool.  If you
want that, I guess you can use MyEclipse (unless you want to use Cocoon or
Tapestry or Velocity or PHP or Ruby, in which case you need another
plug-in).

More importantly, as Vadim points out Struts is an out of date technology.
If I had the choice, I'd dump Struts before I dumped WDSC.
