Ted, Those steps are the same as the ones required for Eclipse.
Simply, there's no specific support for S2, like the support of S1, Hibernate, Spring... You will have autocompletion of struts.xml if you have the namespace declared (like any other XML file) and autocompletion of jsp tags (like any other tags), but nothing specifically of S2 (like suggestion of action names in JSP tags based on struts.xml). Cheers, Alvaro.
