In Netbeans, you don't add jar files directly to WEB-INF/lib of your project. Netbeans does this for you when you build the war file. If you're running a regular Netbeans (ant) project, then do the following: 1. Right-mouse click on the Libraries node of your project 2. Select Add libraries 3. Scroll down until you see the JSTL library 4. Select it and add it This will add both the standard tag jar and jstl jar to your project. Netbeans will complete <%@ taglib uri="..." %> for you as well as all the tags once you add the taglib line to your JSP file. If you're running a Maven project, then you need to edit your pom.xml file. The two dependencies go in the dependencies element and will be built into your war file under the target directory. Again, once Netbeans knows the libraries are a part of your project (sometimes you have to refresh the project) code completion will work as expected. In both cases, everything works as expected on the server. This is my normal (occasional) development environment: Platform: Windows/XP Professional SP 3 or Fedora 15 JVM: JRE/JDK 1.6.0_29 Maven: 3.0.3 Servers: Tomcat 5.5.34, Tomcat 6.0.33, Tomcat 7.0.22, Glassfish 3.1 Given my limited use, this works pretty well. just my two cents . . . . /mde/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
