I would recommend creating the EL enabled version as a 2.0 release.
Enabling EL in an older non EL taglib can allow you to restructure
how your tags work. Some tags or tag attributes may no longer be
necessary when the EL is available. Plus doesn't the EL require JSP 1.2?
And the current taglib is compatible with JSP 1.1?
Adding the EL is enough of a change to warrant a 2.0 release IMHO.
Perhaps not from the developer viewpoint, but definitely from the
user viewpoint.

There is that, but in terms of project management for the Jakarta Taglibs,
it'll turn each ELized version into a new project, or a branch or
somewhat. Unless we declare org.apache.taglibs.<name>.el to be special
perhaps, and output two jars, one with and one without the el sub-package.
Will ask Glenn.

My goal is to not change the existing library at all, either at the
source level or the deployment level. If you put the new classes in the
old jar, then people deploying the old taglib will get those extra
classes. Those shouldn't cause any conflicts, but I don't like to
introduce changes that "very likely" won't have any effect.

Okay. I'm convinced :) Will work on getting a 1.1 release out
which has an
EL'd component. Any reason it has to be a different jar? Or
just one jar
with them all and a different tld?
