I use maven + struts + eclipse + tomcat as my primary dev environment. After having maven create the archetype, you should also go into the project directory and do 'mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=1.5' This will create .project and a few other files that will help eclipse do what it needs to do. Also, you have to setup a variable called M2_REPO. If you look at eclipse's 'Build Path' setting for your project, you'll likely see a bunch of references to it, but if it's undefined, none of the jars will be found. It should be pretty easy to figure out where to have M2_REPO point by looking at the entries for Build Path.
