Your approach will not work. The Java compiler does not know how to find compiled Java classes inside Jars inside Ears. Effectively, you cannot depend on an EAR in another project.
Instead, you need to depend directly on the Struts artifacts in this project. There may be a way to make this work with transitive dependencies but since you constructed the EAR file manually, that is not an option for you either.
