When trying to run an Eclipse Dynamic Web Project under a Tomcat setup using WTP, it fails with the attached stacktrace.
Checklist
At the project properties, under "Java EE Module Dependencies" I have checked the "Maven Dependencies"
At the wtp deploy directory, under lib indeed all dependencies are present (esp. struts-taglib-1.3.10.jar)
On the other hand, if I package with maven and copy the war file under the webapps directory everything is working as normal.
Specification
Eclipse JEE Galileo SR2 (with WTP 3.1.1)
Tomcat 6.0.26
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04-248-10M3025)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.3-b01-101, mixed mode)
