A lot of classes have been marked as deprecated because of relocation of them into a new package. All classes from package com.opensymphony.xwork2 will be moved into org.apache.struts2 in Struts 7 and this deprecation can help you adopt adapt to incoming changes. Please be aware that we are dropping support for DWR and Sitemesh plugins. In the case of DWR there is no more active development nor support for JakartaEE. Sitemesh can be integrated directly with the framework, please check sitemesh3 example.
