Noooo... it's not dead, it's done ;-) – Orr

Have been using SM2x on countless projects without issues. SM3 is slowly getting into kickstart mode. – Meade

Answer 1

It's not dead. Take a look at FubuMVC. Jeremy Miller is working on that project with a whole bunch of people. structure map is what they are using as their IoC container.

Seconding what Adam said and speaking as a Fubu dev, StructureMap is still supported. We've all been busy lately but Jeremy still has plans to revisit for SM 3.0 this year. Given our tight timelines for our product and the functionality we need, I think him and I are both hoping that it gets to happen sooner rather than later. – Casillas

@Casillas I sent a pull request a couple weeks ago to fix an important bug and it still hasn't been dignified with a response. I also noticed that there were 6 other pull requests waiting. I also noticed yesterday that the structuremap.net domain registration expired - making google's cache the only place to find documentation. Regardless, the documentation is really thin, it would be good to organize an effort to improve the documentation. That's probably more important than improving StructureMap itself. – Toxoid

Try sending a message on the fubumvc google group. – Ebro

Answer 2

See the following article from Jeremy Miller "Kicking off StructureMap 3". Looks like this might be the year for big changes within the project. So to answer your question, I don't think StructureMap is dead.

And it's not 'done' either ;-) – Orr

And a year and a half later, StructureMap 3 isn't done yet. – Interim
