you make a valid point. I had just copied that interface from the jakarta-taglibs project. It is an interface - not a class. I'll admit, I don't know too much about licensing. I was just assuming that it's legal to create a physical manifestion of interfaces defined by Sun. The actual implementation is done in an anonymous inner class. How else would we stick to the standards defined by jstl? Isn't this the whole point of the JCP? The community defines the spec, which can be implemented by anyone. As a side note, the servletapi in the maven repository does not contain this interface. Essentially the only difference in not having this dependency vs. having it is the namespace. The dependency doesn't change, it's just whether the name is: javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.LoopTagStatus or org.apache.commons.jelly.whatever.LoopTagStatus
