Eclipse “cannot find the tag library descriptor” for custom tags (not JSTL!)

Question

I have a Java EE project which build fine with Ant, deploys perfectly to JBoss, and runs without any trouble. This project includes a few custom tag librari

Answer 1

I had the same problem with a stripes taglib uri showing as not found. I was using Indigo and Maven and when I checked Properties->Java Build Path->Order & Export Tab I found (on a fresh project checkout) that the "Maven Dependencies" checkbox was unchecked for some reason. Simply checking that box and doing a Maven clean install cleared all the errors.

I wonder why Eclipse doesn't assume I want my Maven dependencies in the build path...
