Strecks is a set of extensions to the Struts web development framework aimed at Java 5 users. The aim of Strecks is to enhance the capability of Struts in terms of productivity and maintainability. Strecks makes use of Java 5 language features, in particular JSR-175 annotations, to simplify the programming model for Struts applications.

For several years, Struts has been the leading Java web application framework, and it has served its purpose well over thousands of projects. However, developers are increasingly demanding more productivity and ease of development from their web application frameworks. Strecks makes heavy use of Java 5 language features to meet this demand, adding a variety of features. It does so without comprimising backward compatibility. Strecks can be used within an existing Struts application, or even within the same module.
The following design goals have guided the development of Strecks:
The scope of Strecks is limited to the form and controller parts of a Struts application, and not to user interface components. However, it does add some features which simplify navigation and rendering of alternative views.
