I found the solution, for using Jakarta Taglibs in JBoss/Tomcat with Maven:
1. Place the following dependencies in the pom.xml of your Web Application
project:
<dependency>
<groupId>taglibs</groupId>
<artifactId>standard</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>taglibs</groupId>
<artifactId>x</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
<type>tld</type>
</dependency>
Notice that the 2nd dependency saves you the trouble of extracting the TLD
from the jar file.
2. Maven-War-Plugin, copies the JAR file into WEB-INF/lib and the TLD file
into WEB-INF/tld:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
3. In the web.xml of your web application, place the following lines:
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>tld/x-1.1.2.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
The taglib URI was taken from the <uri> element in the x-1.1.2.tld file.
the location is relative to WEB-INF directory.
4. Place the following line in the JSP file:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml"; prefix="x" %>
5. Use the tags defines in the tld with <x:tag-name></x:tag-name>
