GWT + JSTL in development mode — is it possible?

Question

I have a GWT app (generated by roo) that I have decided to secure with Spring Security. Roo generates a login.jspx page as part of the security setup and this jspx uses some ba

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

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
        <classifier/>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl-impl</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
        <classifier/>
    </dependency>

to

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
        <classifier/>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
    <groupId>taglibs</groupId>
        <artifactId>standard</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
    </dependency>

you will have a working GWT + JSTL environment!
