Yes, we could look at implementing our own or building on the 1.1
Jakarta impl. I'm a little hesitant to do that given that the Jakarta
folks themselves have considered this and apparently decided not to
pursue that path. I figure they know more about this than I do.
However, using Glassfish may not be that simple either. So far I
haven't seen the Glassfish published JSTL in any public repo. I also
haven't found a way to download just the JSTL impl from Glassfish apart
from downloading the entire image.
Still investigating ....

Here's another option. Depending on how much the spec has changed
between 1.1 and 1.2, we could fork jakarta and provide our own
implementation. Just a thought.
Then again, what are the pros and cons of picking up Glassfish ?

Does anyone know of an alternative to Glassfish's JSTL 1.2? Also, I
wonder if Jakarta might consider providing an implementation if we
expressed interest in using it in Geronimo?
