Note that this feature might not be included in your version of the IDE. If your version of the IDE does not have the JSP Standard Tag Library in the Tag Repository, you can download it from the Update Center.

The IDE provides access to the JSTL (JSP Standard Tag Library), which is a set of compatible tag libraries that you can use in your JSP pages. The JSTL supports iteration, control-flow, text inclusion, and formatting features, as well as XML manipulation capabilities. The JSTL also supports an expression language to simplify page development, as well as extensibility mechanisms that allow you to integrate your own custom tags with JSTL tags.

See http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/Overview.html for a complete description of the JSTL, including documentation and tutorials.

The JSTL is contained in the following .jar files:

To use the JSTL libraries in a web module, you must add the standard.jar file to the WEB-INF/lib directory of the web module. See Adding a Tag Library to a Web Module for more information on how to add a tag library using the Tag Library Repository.
