Hopefully, I'll give the Maven stuff a whirl later. rescued it - akismet normally does a good job, although with most of the comments I get being spam :( it hasn’t had much non-spam to process.

Hmm... it should download the struts2 libraries when you create the project from the archetype, using their custom repo (http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository) But yeah, the Netbeans plugin for Maven did seem a bit strange when I tried it. Try the following (assuming you've installed Maven and it's in your PATH): 1. Create the project: mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=tutorial -DartifactId=tutorial -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.struts -DarchetypeArtifactId=struts2-archetype-starter -DarchetypeVersion=2.0.5-SNAPSHOT -DremoteRepositories=http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository 2. Change to the newly-created "tutorial" directory and type: mvn netbeans-freeform:generate-netbeans-project (from http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-ide-netbeans/guide-ide-netbeans.html) This should create a directory for the netbeans project file and all that "extra stuff" netbeans uses. Or, if you have an evaluation copy of IntelliJ, try "mvn idea:idea" :) All the dependent libraries (i.e. struts2, etc.) should be downloaded to your local repository when you create the netbeans project (well, they were when I created the IDEA ones)... ?

I couldn't get the maven integration working right in netbeans - I guess I need to load struts 2 into the maven repository, I guess that ought to be my next step.

Struts2 be a thing of much beauty (compared to the sea-hag that is our Struts usage at work ;)) Did you try using the maven archetype when getting the helloworld example running? Tiz a good example of how much easier Maven can make things :) See http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/ready-set-go.html Yarr!
