Evidently, the Jetty server underpinning GWT development mode has JSTL 1.1 already on the classpath somewhere. If you change the Maven dependencies that Roo adds by default

    
        javax.servlet.jsp.jstl
        jstl-api
        1.2
        
    
    
        org.glassfish.web
        jstl-impl
        1.2
        
    

to

    
        javax.servlet
        jstl
        1.1.1
        
    
    
    taglibs
        standard
        1.1.1
    

you will have a working GWT + JSTL environment!
