Does writting JSF custom component require J2EE?

I am new to JSF, and custom JSF - is J2EE (Enterprise Edition) a
requirement when creating custom JSF components? When I try to extend
UIComponentTag I get compiler error
"javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.JspIdConsumer cannot be resolved. It is
indirectly referenced from required .class files". I found this in
the J2EE API, so I know that it exists there - but I would like to use
J2SE; I will be running on Tomcat.

Here is an example of the class I am stuck on:

package jsftest;

import javax.faces.application.Application;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.el.ValueBinding;
import javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag;

public class FacesTextBoxTag extends UIComponentTag
{
  // Declare a bean property for the hellomsg attribute.
  public String hellomsg = null;

  // Associate the renderer and component type.
  public String getComponentType() { return
"com.sscims.jsfkit.TextBox"; }
  public String getRendererType() { return null; }

  protected void setProperties(UIComponent component)
  {
    super.setProperties(component);

    // set hellomsg
    if (hellomsg != null)
    {
      if (isValueReference(hellomsg))
      {
        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        Application app = context.getApplication();
        ValueBinding vb = app.createValueBinding(hellomsg);
        component.setValueBinding("hellomsg", vb);
      }
      else
        component.getAttributes().put("hellomsg", hellomsg);
    }
  }

  public void release()
  {
    super.release();
    hellomsg = null;
  }

  public void setHellomsg(String hellomsg)
  {
    this.hellomsg = hellomsg;
  }
}
