struts2 in eclipse 2,

Here is a work around to get it working in eclipse 3.2. Get WTP plugins for eclipse. Create DynamicWebProject. The below is what the project structure will look like:
projectname --> Name of the projct in eclipse
src
com.yourcompname -->place your java files
strut.xml
web
css ---> This folder contains CSS files
pages ---> This folder contains JSPs
WEB-INF
classes --> classes, strut.xml
lib --> library files
libext --> library files
web.xml
index.jsp or index.html
The below is a build.xml which would deploy the application as war file in JBOSS. This build.xml assumes JBOSS resides in the root location. A little or no modifcation would be required in this file if need be.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- This build file builds for JBoss -->
<project name="strut2application" default="deploy" basedir=".">
<property name="jboss.home.dir" value="/jboss-4.0.0"/>
<property name="jboss.deploy.dir" value="${jboss.home.dir}/server/default/deploy"/>
<property name="src.dir" value="src" />
<property name="cls.dir" value="WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes" />
<property name="web.dir" value="WebRoot"/>
<property name="build.dir" value="build"/>
<property name="war" value="${build.dir}/struts2Proj.war" />
<property name="war.web.xml" value="${web.dir}/WEB-INF/web.xml" />
<property name="web.cls.dir" value="WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes"/>
<!--Clean the project workspace -->
<target name="clean" description="Clean Packaging">
<delete dir="${build.dir}"/>
</target>
<!-- compile -->
<target name="compile" depends="clean" description="o Compile the code">
<javac
srcdir="${src.dir}"
destdir="${cls.dir}"
deprecation="true"
debug="false"
optimize="false">
</javac>
</target>
<!-- copy needed files to build so that we could distribute it -->
<target name="copyfiles" depends="clean">
<copydir src="${cls.dir}" dest="${build.dir}/WEB-INF/classes"></copydir>
<!-- <copyfile src="MessageResources.properties" dest="${build.dir}//WEB-INF/classes/MessageResources.properties"/>-->
<copy todir="${build.dir}">
<fileset dir="${web.dir}"></fileset>
</copy>
</target>
<!-- deploy the application as a war file -->
<target name="web.package" depends="copyfiles" description="Packages the Web classes">
<echo>Generating WAR</echo>
<war warfile="${war}" webxml="${war.web.xml}">
<fileset dir="${build.dir}" includes="**" excludes="${war.web.xml}"/>
</war>
</target>
<target name="deploy" depends="web.package" description="Deploys WAR on Jboss Server">
<echo>Deploying struts2Proj.war</echo>
<copy file="${war}" todir="${jboss.deploy.dir}" overwrite="true"/>
</target>
</project>
That should be it I guess.
Note: We dont need WTP plugin for eclipse if we use WSAD (from IBM) or MyEclipse (from Genuitec). If we use MyEclipse, we dont require even the build.xml as it has a wizard option to deploy our application in exploded or packaged mode in our respective application or web servers
Thanks,
Chandra
