Which of these frameworks are most likely to become the most popular or seems to have the most promise?
I have started to look at struts. I don't know if it's just me, but I can't seem to find any detailed documentation/tutorial on its use(documentation at apache.org seems a bit too terse)
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

For a plethora of useful struts info, check out http://www.husted.com/struts/.
I am currently working on a struts project, the first one we've attempted. There was a little bit of a learning curve, but now it seems fairly simple to me. Joining the struts mailing list certainly helped.
If you've ever implemented a web-based MVC application using the command pattern from scratch, you'll certainly appreciate the flexibility of struts. If you've ever considered implementing such a framework from scratch, there is really no reason to re-invent the wheel IMHO.

There was also a nice article on struts by Thomas Paul in one of the recent newsletters. You can find it here.

Struts is purely for web layer view and control of the MVC architecture - it doesn't do any "model" stuff. It may be compatible with some or all of the other frameworks you mention - for instance it works with Tiles, Validator. I think it may be easy to use it alongside velocity, but I'm not sure.
What do Cocoon, Turbine, etc do?
