Struts 1.x End of Life (EOF)
Struts 1
started in 2000 and it had its initial release in May 2000. Also Struts 1
soon became the de-facto standard for Java-based web application development.
In the meantime the Struts community has focused on pushing
the Struts 2 framework forward, with as many as 23 releases as of April 2013
Due to lack of volunteer support for struts 1, Community
announces the users should not rely on a properly maintained framework.
Struts 1 had its last release in December 2008 version
1.3.10.
Taking this into account struts 1 community announces Struts
1 had reached its EOL.
