On the contrary, I appreciate your help Gregg, you and everyone else is quite welcome to contribute answers!
Just to add a bit more:
1) How easy it is to migrate an app from Struts to Stripes ?
Migrating from Struts to Stripes should not be a problem, because they are both action-based frameworks. Most of the work will probably involve
removing code as Stripes requires much less configuration and redundant code than Struts.
As for migrating
your knowledge of Struts to Stripes, that won't be a problem either. Again, Stripes is much easier to use and requires less code, but is not a paradigm-shift so you will easily grasp how it works. I speak from the experience of having seen co-workers coming from a Struts background being able to get up to speed with Stripes.
2) We can use any template engine with Stripes i.e FreeMarker, Velocity ?
You can technically use any template engine with Stripes. More specifically, FreeMarker works very well, but Velocity lacks JSP tag library support, so you wouldn't be able to use the Stripes tag library with Velocity.
