1. Go to Download a Release download the full distribution which is a zip file.

2. Download and extract. The extracted folder contains sub-folders which include src, lib, docs etc. U need to include some jar files from the lib folder in ur eclipse project.

3. Create a web project.Web Project > Next > Give a project Name > Next >Content-Directory : web, Check create web.xml > Finish.
In the web folder u have WEB-INF and META-INF. In the WEB-INF u have the lib folder in which u have to add struts jars.

4.Go to the project, right click Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Add external Jars . then navigate to the Extracted struts folder and add the following jars.

commons-beanutils, commons-chain, commons-collections, commons-digester
commons-fileupload, commons-io,commons-lang, commons-lang3, commons-logging, commons validator, freemarker, ognl, struts2-core, struts-core, xwork-core.

5. Go to project>Properties> Deployment Assembly > Add> Java Build Path entries > Select all the jars > Apply > Ok
( U can actually create a user library and use it always but i do it this way)

U r all set with a blank eclipse project which uses struts 2 libraries.

Hope u find this useful.
