Tomcat issues with starting struts application

Question

I have a simple application on Struts developed on eclipse-jee-indigo-SR2-win32-x86_64. Both Eclipse build path and Java_Home are pointing to JRE7. I have coppied all Struts jars in Webapps lib. My Struts version is Struts 2.5.10 and Tomcat version is apache-tomcat-7.0.75-windows-x64 While creating the Dynamic webapp, the runtime is referred as Tomcat7

While trying to start the application I am getting the below error:

It looks you are missing one of the plugin required by struts2.

If the project is maven add below depedency

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
  <artifactId>struts2-gxp-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.1</version>
</dependency>

If your project is not a maven you can download the jar from here and it to your path.

http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/struts/struts2-gxp-plugin/2.5.1/struts2-gxp-plugin-2.5.1.jar
