Description

From https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=268678

Highlights:

• get warning 'Unable to load tag handler class "[class name]" for tag "<[prefix]:[tagname]>"'
• Workaround:  add

  <%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
  

   to top of each jsp

The work-around mentioned works, except I also found I had to remove the following from web.xml in order to avoid the spurious warning.

   <jsp-config>
        <jsp-property-group>
            <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
            <page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
        </jsp-property-group>
    </jsp-config>

Documenting this additional work-around hoping it will help someone else.
