This is a bug in HICC. When I converted from Tomcat to jetty in Chukwa 0.3, there is a conflict between tag lib jsp engine and jetty's servlet implementation. I rewrote the view manager for HICC in trunk, which uses jersey and HDFS to store HICC views. Therefore, I recommend to upgrade to trunk to get HICC dashboard builder working.
