The important thing is the qualification for when JSP 2.0 (and Servlet
2.4) is required:

The following is a list of provided dependencies for this project. These
dependencies are required to compile the application, but should be
provided by default when using the library...

If I read that correctly (it's not very clear: what does "compile the
application" refer to?), you only need libs for these APIs when compiling
displaytag.  If that ISN'T what it means, and you need to have these APIs
when compiling YOUR application, you have two possible ways to make this
work:

 * Use displaytag 1.0, which is clearly compatible with the previous
JSP/Servlet APIs (http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/10).

 * Write your code so that it's compatible with both JSP 1.2 and
2.0/Servlet 2.3 and 2.4.  Then you can compile the app and it should work
with the older version of the APIs on your creaky old WebSphere.

I'd just go ahead and try to compile and run with 1.1 and your current
code base and see what happens.  Then I'd *look* at the second option
above to see if it's possible (it may not be).  Then if all else fails I'd
roll back to 1.0.

HTH.
