In each struts2 plugin there's a
struts-plugin.xmland even it's related to your question I will suggest you to remove it from classpath configuration and deployment artifacts. Because you are probably not use struts2-jquery in your project, and that plugin is useless, and that's it prevents you from bootstrap your application causing an error, and it requires additional references on the classpath related to struts2-jquery that are absent or you don't use them.If you use third party plugins with your project then you should contact the plugin project web site if you need a support because this plugin is not supported by the Apache Struts and might be deprecated as far as you might use an outdated version of the struts2-jquery-plugin.
Please use latest version of Struts2 jQuery Plugin. The version you have is 3.3.0 which is not compatible to Struts 2.5.x.
See Struts2 jQuery Plugin Changelog for more details.
