>>  o Improved Design - Code clean against HTTP-independent framework

>>  o Enhanced Tags - Code less with stylesheet-driven form tags that
>> provide their own markup.
>>  o Stateful Checkboxes - Avoid special handling with smart checkboxes
>> that know when they are toggled.
>>  o Flexible Cancel Buttons - Go directly to a different action on
>> cancel.
>>  o First-class AJAX support - Add interactivity and flexibility with
>> AJAX tags that look and feel just like standard Struts tags.
>>  o Easy Spring integration - Inject dependencies into Actions using
>> Spring without glue code or red tape. (Plexus support also available.)
>>  o Enhanced Results - Do more with specialty results for
>> JasperReports, JFreeChart, Action chaining, and file downloading.
>>  o POJO forms - No more ActionForms! Use any JavaBean to capture form
>> input or put properties directly on an Action class. Use both binary
>> and String properties!
>>  o POJO Actions - Use any class as an Action class -- even the
>> interface is optional!
>>
>> * Deploy!
>>  o Easy plugins - Add framework extensions by dropping in a JAR. No
>> manual configuration required! Bundled plugins add support for
>> JavaServer Faces, JasperReports, JFreeChart, Tiles, and more ...
>>  o Integrated profiling - Peek inside Struts2 to find where the
>> cycles are going!
>>  o Precise Error Reporting - Flip directly to the location and line
>> of an error.
>>
>> * Maintain!
>>  o Easy-to-test Actions - Test Struts2 Actions directly, without
>> resorting to mock HTTP objects.
>>  o Intelligent Defaults - Skip obvious and redundant settings. Most
>> framework configuration elements have a default value that we can set
>> and forget. Say it once!
>>  o Easy-to-customize controller - Customize the request handling per
>> action, if desired. Struts2 only does what you want it to do!
>>  o Integrating Debugging - Research problem reports with built-in
>> debugging tools.
>>  o Easy-to-tweak tags - Customize tag markup by editing a FreeMarker
>> template. No need to grok the taglib API! JSP, FreeMarker, and
>> Velocity tags are fully supported.
>>
>> Struts 2.0.6 is available in a full distribution, or as separate
>> library, source, example and documentation distributions.
>>
>> * http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts2006

>> The release is also available through the central Maven repository
