Configure Eclipse 3.3 for Struts

[Dushyant Danveer]

Hi,
I am new to eclipse and trying to configure Struts....
I downloaded StrutsBox pugin and followed the instructions... but it gives me a Java Facet not defined error.
I have tried the work around mentioned in the website but still no luck.
I am not bent upon using StrutsBox, so could you please advise me how can I configure Eclipse version 3.3 for Struts easily. I have tried various plugins from eclipse plugin page but the config settings are for older versions of eclipse...
Please help

Just a Thought: Is configuring Eclipse a project by itself ??? Configured jdk then apache tomcat and now stuck with struts. EJB and database connectivity would be a nightmare!!!

I didn't use any plugins to work on Struts 2. Just import the blank Struts 2 WAR into Eclipse as a starting point and work on it as per normal web application would suffice.

Hope this helps.

I agree with Chengwei. The Web Application tooling available in Eclipse 3.3 is sufficient to develop Struts 2 applications. You don't need any Struts-specific plugin.

Point taken... I can use blank struts war file to start off with Struts in Eclipse.
However I was wondering since Eclipse is a commercial tool used in the industry to develop application (small - medium - big sized) and so is struts framework.
So, in the industry would they implement struts framework by importing blank war or they would be using some kind of plugin which would make the process bit easier.
Since I am preparing for job interviews as well, I would like to replicate my development/learning process as close to industry standards.
Please throw some light on this aspect
