Jetty 8 standalone doesn't detect jstl taglib jar

I have started a simple servlet 3.0 project which contains now a jsp page where I am using the jstl core tags. If I'm starting this with mvn jetty:run I can see the output properly calculated. But if I'm packaging the project as a war and deploy it into a standalone jetty server, it fails for the same page with 

PWC6188: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application

I have checked that jstl-1.2.jar is in the war under WEB-INF/lib. What did I miss else?

I am using jetty 8.1.3.v20120416 in maven and the standalone installation.

This is likely related to cannot load JSTL taglib within embedded Jetty server

Make sure you don't have duplicate jars present in your WEB-INF/lib especially the servlet-api, jstl, and standard jars.
