Jakarta JSTL packages missing

Asked by Miloš Z

I am trying to run "Shibboleth IdP 5" on Tomcat 10 (Jakarta EE 10) on Ubuntu 24.04. The IdP fails to start with:

"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jakarta/servlet/jsp/jstl/core/Config"

I installed the standard distro packages (with appropriate soft links):

* tomcat10
* libtaglibs-standard-impl-java
* libtaglibs-standard-jstlel-java
* libtaglibs-standard-spec-java

However, these library packages only provide the older `javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.*` classes, not `jakarta.*` which makes them useless in the context of Tomcat 10 (i.e., they will work just fine on Ubuntu 22.04 and Tomcat 9).

It looks like there is no Jakarta JSTL library in the official Ubuntu 24.04 repositories. Am I missing something obvious, or could this be considered a packaging bug? Thanks!

Update: It works when library is manually fecthed from https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/jakarta/servlet/jsp/jstl/jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl-api/3.0.2/jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl-api-3.0.2.jar
