Here is how I successfully maven2-ized my existing struts2 project:
I used the m2eclipse plugin to add maven to the project (m2 Maven/"Enable
Dependency Management" option on right click of project).
I followed this blog which contained struts2 information for using maven2
and struts2:
http://thedevelopercorner.blogspot.com/2007/06/build-struts-2-application-us
ing-maven.html
Key for me was adding to the pom.xml:
<repository>
<id>apache-repo</id>
<name>Apache Repository</name>
<url>
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository
</url>
</repository>
and
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
<artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0.14</version>
</dependency>
eclipse: I had to change the Project Facet Java to use the compiler I wanted
it to use (6.0). The Facet gets changed to 1.4 by something Maven related.
(It may not be the "m2eclipse plug-in" specifically.)
After cleaning up the server, removing jars that maven handles now, and
redeploying, the struts2 app works again. :)
To get displaytag in there for table/grid displays, I added the depdency as
indicated at http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/1.2/install.html :
<dependency>
<groupId>displaytag</groupId>
<artifactId>displaytag</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>
I hope the above information serves some people well.
