That's why it's called 'static' :-) Think of it as library code.

Not other than through the technique you describe below.

That's why the staticJavascript option is there. This is a reasonable 
approach. Do remember to update the contents of the file if and when you 
upgrade to a different Struts release though. Personally I wouldn't 
worry about trimming that file down, since the browser should cache it 
and only have to fetch it the first time it's referenced.
