Yes,
it's true.
The WebWork development team (Jason and I) have been working with the
Struts development team (Don Brown and Ted Husted) and have come to the
conclusion that the best thing for Java community would be to merge
WebWork in to Struts.
Read Ted's email here,
but the gist of it is this: WebWork is a great technology, and Struts
is a great community. It's a perfect match and bringing the two
together will only be better for WebWork and Struts users alike. The
only down side for me is that I'll be working less with OpenSymphony,
but I believe that is a small price for all the great benefits that
come from this merger.
Just to be clear, WebWork is not going away.
WebWork 2.2 is still coming out any day now, and there may even be a
WebWork 2.3. But new minor/major versions won't be coming out under the
WebWork name for much longer. Instead, they will be released under the
Struts incubator program with the intent to eventually become Struts
Action Framework 2.0.
So don't worry, WebWork 2.1.8, 2.2.1, and other bug fix releases
will continue to come out and we will support the WebWork community as
long as needed. In addition, we'll make compatibility with both Struts
and WebWork a high priority, so future releases may help with that. To
be clear: no one is leaving WebWork and it will continue to be supported for a very long time.
With this renewed energy, larger development team, and larger
community, the combined efforts of Struts and WebWork will surely make
the Struts platform the easiest, fastest, and most powerful Java web
framework available. We hope that all the WebWork users and developers
are as excited about this as we are and are ready to take WebWork to
the next level.

以前一直在struts和webwork之间犹豫,看来struts气数未尽呀。apache组织还是比较只值得信赖的。呵呵!
