[jetty-discuss] Re: Question about the Jetty6 Maven plugin (JSTL problem)

[Jan B. <ja...@mo...>]

Hi Stefan,


JSTL is a J2EE (now known as JavaEE) requirement, not a servlet spec
nor a jsp spec requirement. Jetty is a web container, not a 
J2EE container, and so therefore doesn't include them by default. 


cheers
