Struts is a framework for web application development that helps you create well-architected applications. The Struts tools in this product make it easier for you to create and test a Struts-based Web application.

Before you begin

You must be in the Web perspective.

About this task

Remember:

This product supports versions 1.0.2, 1.1x, 1.2x and 1.3x of the Apache Struts framework. Struts version 1.0.2 and 1.1.x are supported when an existing project is imported into your workspace. On project creation, you must select the Struts versions 1.2 or 1.3 facets. Struts versions 1.2 and 1.3 are only supported with web modules 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5.
