Anders,
Actually, you're very close; the problem isn't on your end at all. The
particular issue you're running into is a minor syntactic error I
introduced in a round of changes to update JSPTL to the current version of
the servlet API.
The good news is that we've already caught it. If you pull either the
initial EA1 "release" of the JSPTL or the most current copy of the code in
the jakarta-taglibs CVS archive (or from the "nightly" image), you should
be able to build JSPTL without any trouble.
Sorry for the inconvenience; this was solely my fault. (I tested
thoroughly after a bunch of major changes, and then I typed one minor
change incorrectly and neglected to test it!)
