You have missed some jars like struts-spring plugin

Use similar versions to get clear output

Answer 2

This would periodically happen with me. Even though the dependency was correct and even though I had previously started the server in Eclipse with no problems. However, if I would change code while the server was running, sometimes I would get this problem.

I would remove the application from the server. Start the server. Stop the server. Then, re-run 'mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0" (probably similar to Project->Clean).

Then, hit F5 to Refresh the project. Add the application to the server. Start the server.

Sometimes changing code while the server is running or if it is stopped incorrectly, this also blocks the port (sometimes shutting down eclipse or restarting my computer is required).

I experienced a similar issue whenever I checked out my project fresh from the SVN repository and this worked for me:-

1) Clean the Server. TopBarMenu>Project>Clean

2) Disable Automatic Building. TopBarMenu>Project>Uncheck Build Automatically

3) Manually Build the Project. TopBarMenu>Project>Build

Alternatively, RightClick the Project you want to Build and click Build Project (above refresh). (Note: This option is hidden if projects are set to build automatically)

4) Run the project.

Remove your application from the server and re deploy your application again.
