Ok I think I know what is going on.

I use maven as my build system, and it downloaded the jstl-1.2.jar for
me. On looking inside the jar its directory structure seemed a bit
odd.

/META-INF
/classes/org/...
       /javax/...

I edited the file and moved the org and javax directories to the root
of the jar and it all sprung into life.

How odd.

Thanks for your help.
