I use MyEclipse 10 to build an empty web with adding Struts 2.1 capability. In MyEclipse 10, I only add Struts 2 Core Libraries, which contain below libraries in WEB-INF/lib:
antlr-2.7.2.jar
aopalliance-1.0.jar
classworlds-1.1.jar
commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
commons-chain-1.2.jar
commons-collections-3.2.jar
commons-digester-2.0.jar
commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar
commons-io-1.3.2.jar
commons-lang-2.3.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
commons-logging-api-1.1.jar
commons-validator-1.3.1.jar
freemarker-2.3.16.jar
javassist-3.7.ga.jar
json-lib-2.1-jdk15.jar
ognl-3.0.jar
oro-2.0.8.jar
sslext-1.2-0.jar
struts2-convention-plugin-2.2.1.jar
struts2-core-2.2.1.jar
struts2-embeddedjsp-plugin-2.2.1.jar
struts2-json-plugin-2.2.1.jar
xwork-core-2.2.1.jar
My web application contains no any Struts action. so struts.xml is also empty as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.1//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.1.dtd">
<struts>
</struts>
My web.xml is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5"

My index.jsp is below:
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*" pageEncoding="UTF8"%>
<%
String path = request.getContextPath();
String basePath = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()+":"+request.getServerPort()+path+"/";
%>

After deploy to Geronimo 2.2.1, Geronimo showed me deploy failed because the below errors:

However, as you can see, my web application contains not any Struts Action class, nor my web application uses any Struts1. It is just an empty web application. so I don't know why Geronimo tells me that NoClassFoundException for Struts1 object: org/apache/struts/taglib/html/FormTag
