Using glassfish v2ur2-b04 on fedora 8 with jdk 1.5.0_15.

Trying to compile jsp's using an ant task throws "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". Using the command line jspc binary in ${APPSRV_HOME}/bin works, but calling it using the ant taskdef fails. Any help is appreciated.
