That's a pretty open-ended question.

The *simplest* way to get started is to create a typical Java webapp layout and put the required libraries into /WEB-INF/lib. You'd then make sure that Eclipse had those libraries on its compile path--but that's an IDE question, not Struts. Try the IDE forum for IDE-specific help.

Another option is to use Maven and a Maven plugin; that may be too steep of a learning curve right now, though.

I'd suggest you find the struts-blank-2.x.x.war file that comes with the download. Then just use the file->import->war file function to import this file into Ecliplse. You then have a ready-made Struts 2 project with all the necessary artifacts. You can deploy this project as-is to JBoss just to make sure everything is working, and then you can use it as a starting point for your new code.
