let’s see here. We have 4+ pages of requests for Struts2 support. The intro to this forum says “we’re all ears”…. Hmmmm seems like there’s maybe nothing between them on Genuitec’s part??? IntelliJ IDEA already has development started for Struts2 support and even Seam support. I don’t know, but I feel that MyEclipse has “jumped the shark” with its user community for ME with the advent of Blue. There has not yet been a single Milestone release of any kind since mid-October of last year and no news of when anything is coming down the line for ME 6.1M1. Any others feel this way????

well, our team needs Struts 2 support and if there is nothing coming from here we will have to move back to IntelliJ (again) – since they already have struts2 plugin – unofficial one – true – but it works – simple like that.

Hi All,

Count me as needing Struts 2 as well. I think it’s pretty clear by now that we have reached critical mass. Genuitec ought to make a press release or email to the registered users to let us know that Struts 2 will be coming very soon.

I’d like to hear a definite projected date for when the user base can expect Struts 2 support. Anyone else with me??

Cheers,
Jason Morris

do you have any support for Struts 2 or any working plugins

thanks…

[Shibu Gope]

Voting for struts 2. We definitely need it

Hi all.

I have found this post by chance, so excuse me if I’m on the wrong place to post this message.

I’ve just posted a new project on sourceforge for a MVC Eclipse plugin. It does support struts 2.

I’ve released it under eclipse public license.

It is not as perfect as I would like to, but it may help you on new struts 2 applications.

Unfortunately, for the moment you will not be able to import an existing struts 2 application…

Go to

http://mvcwebproject.sourceforge.net/

Hope this will help…

Scott,
That being said we aren’t waiting for 1/2 our users to demand Struts 2 or Wicket or Tapestry 4 or JEE 5 or JPA or any of the any other technologies, we just wait for a serious level of demand from our users to popup before we look into a technology.expensive. So we need to pick wisely.

So the take away message here is keep requesting. If you get loud enough, we’ll succumb to your wishes 😉

+60 for Struts 2, and Freemarker support (and Maven 2).

Our company is just about to buy 60 licenses of MyEclipse and we’re using Struts 2 and Freemarker as our next-gen technology (migrating from Struts 1 and JSP). We’re using the Freemarker JBoss Tools plugin, which is a good start but doesn’t add much beyond syntax highlighting (it feels like the days of the original, very weak, JavaScript support). Struts 2 IDE support is really lacking out there though.

Maybe this request will get someone’s attention at Genuitec? Maybe if we held off buying citing lack of Struts 2 support? 😉 I mean it should be a simple case to update the Struts plugin for Struts 2.

On a side note, we’ve been through the ringer and back trying to get MyEclipse and Maven 2 to play happily together on both EAR projects and our next gen (which is a WAR project). I think we’ve finally solved every last problem and have the two environments (Maven 2 and MyEclipse) happily co-existing together and generating identical WAR output. The major victory was figuring out how to get maven to exclude WEB-INF/classes (MyEclipse’s output directory) from the buliding of a war. Turns out it was easy:

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <warSourceExcludes>WEB-INF/classes</warSourceExcludes>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

However, it could have been easier if MyEclipse didn’t REQUIRE a web project to output to WEB-INF/classes, but instead allowed it to put its output anywhere (like in the /bin folder) and then merged it in with the other dependent java project’s classes and libs to produce the deployed war structure. Right now, if you don’t output to WEB-INF/classes, your class files don’t get deployed.

Anyway, happy next-gen Java programming with whatever new JEE technology you choose. I know I tend to drive technology decisions based on tool support, so let’s hope Genuitec picks the good ones to support.

Well…6.5 beta shows no sign if it! Guess we don’t have enough votes for it yet?

[bsavardnok]

Yeah,

I’ve been asking for Struts2 support also. Instead of Struts2, we get stuff like half-baked photo editing…

I’d like my enterprise IDE to do enterprise stuff. Like Stuts2…

[Sean Parsons]

They said there weren’t enough votes for it. and I said…5 pages of notes on this thread, plus other threads talking about it isn’t enough? Come on…it shouldn’t be that hard to add it. I agree – I don’t want other editors. We need things that are, or have been available for quite a while. Struts 2 isn’t new.

[John Moose]

this is the version supporting the ReST- plug-in to Struts 2 among other great features. It is getting critical now that Struts 2.1.x support in MyEclipse becomes roadmapped/available!!
