Apache 2-on-2: Struts 2 in Maven 2

Since our last 2 CRs has been launched, I haven't had the leisure of working less 10 hours a day. And mostly have to come even on Saturdays or Sundays.

This last 2 days I eventually managed to deploy Apache Struts 2 on Maven 2. The archetype plugin has done a great job in providing base for the application. A version 1.0 of the archetype exists. But the existence of the 2.0.1-SNAPSHOT version caught up my eyes. Later I decided to explore the latter.

It needs around 3 manual downloads for the Maven 2, because the struts2-archetype-starter still use some of the snapshot jars. I believe the version 1.0 is easier and steadier to construct, but what good to use the older version for exploration? If this is for development into production, I'd better use the older and more stable version. But I'm doing this to satisfy my curiousity anyway...

After the successful attempt, I eventually decided to base the CubiClicks not on WebWork 2.2.4, but on the Struts 2. I hope it (CubiClicks) could be released within 6 months..
