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 fixed this problem today.

• Change your output directory to your WEB-INF/classes folder. (Project/Properties/Java Build Path, Default output folder)
• Assigne the module dependencies. (Project/Properties/Java EE Module Dependencies) they will be copied to the WEB-INF/lib folder where Eclipse looks for the tag lib definitions too.

I hope it helps.
