</I>I'd rather first have the same interrogation for those packages before 
investing any manpower in porting them: do we really need all of them in 
the distribution ?

For instance, struts12 is a deprecated version of struts, dating from 
2005, whereas current major version is 2.3. tiles20 is a deprecated 
version of tiles, whose current version is 2.2.2. Etc...

I would have nothing againt those gazillion packages being present in 
the distribution if their had no side-effect for the rest of the world 
not using them. However, they do, when they involves release-blockers 
bugs. And given you're almost the only guy working on the java stack, 
I'd personnaly prefer to have you working on real issues affecting end 
users (for instance #2516 and  #2517) than fixing security issues for 
softwares very unlikely to be used at all...

My point is that we could achieve better results with more focused 
objectives in this regard.
