+* Added support for Struts 7.x package names in the Struts framework library. The library now recognizes both the legacy `com.opensymphony.xwork2` package names (Struts 2.x-6.x) and the new `org.apache.struts2` package names (Struts 7.x+), maintaining backward compatibility while enabling analysis of code using the latest Struts versions.
