netbeans 6.5 and struts 2

It is not really straightforward to add Struts 2 capabilities to Netbeans 6.5, so I'll try to explain it in details.


  1. Go to nbstruts2support project's page and download two nbm files under the "release modules" folder.
  2. Open netbeans 6.5 > tools > plugins > downloaded > add plugins. Then choose both nbm files and click next until the installation is complete.
  3. You can now create java web projects with struts 2 framework support (Don't forget to tick Struts 2 on Frameworks window). Notice that you can automatically generate a "hello world" page using Struts 2.

  5. Hi,

    Sorry,
    This works fine,actually I was tring

    https://nbstruts2support.dev.java.net/installation.html

    with the the old nbm link given there and got the error as I mentioned above.

    Same issue was mentioned here

    e.g:-
    http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=156119

    (There is a small file capacity difference between these 2 versions of struts2 support nbms,older one is about 127kb updated one is 131kb)

    Thanks a lot.
