The new features in this release are many and varied and fortunately listed for me at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/collateral/101/1013newfeatures.html
But from the Struts point of view the key changes are
1) Support for multiple modules / diagrams within the same project
2) Synchronized source control for the Struts configuration and the diagram file that holds the visualization of it.
3) As you edit validation of the Struts config against the DTD
4) Local change history for your code and configurations (as well as source control diffs)
5) (And the really cool one) Integration of Struts into the refactoring mechanisms. So if you move or rename say a Form Bean class, then we'll (optionally) update your Struts XML as well.
Of course all the old stuff is still there, WYSIWYG JSP editor with live rendering of Struts and JSTL tags, ability to edit your Struts configuration through the Diagram, the raw XML or a Console with all views synchronized, and so on.
I've created an on-line demo to wet appetites without incurring the bandwidth to download the preview.

One point to note, this preview actually is shipping with 1.1 of Struts still. Production will be integrated with 1.2.6 (or whatever), but you can simply upgrade the preview to use a newer version if the fancy takes you (See: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/mills/struts1_2.html)
Any questions just ask me.
