title: Status of JSTL in Java EE 6
body: <p>It seems JSTL is no longer even mentioned in the <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/bnarf.html" rel="nofollow">Java EE 6 Tutorial</a>, Oracle instead favouring the JSF libraries heavily over the older jstl core libraries. Does this indicate that it is now unmaintained and will be scrapped in future version of the platform?</p>
  
  <p>edit: 
  Apparently the <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/javaserverfaces/2.1/docs/vdldocs/facelets/" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> for the JSF tags includes documentation for the core tags. I'm not sure whether that means they are considered to be of core function any more though, since they aren't even any examples in the tutorial.</p>
