Is there a way to use pre-existing JSP Tag libraries within the Lift framework (e.g. via snippets)?

Question
I'm fairly new to Lift/Scala but like the ideas of less code writing and function passing etc.
I've had a brief look at the Lift web framework but was wondering if it is at all possible to leverage pre-existing JSP Tag libraries, ideally while being able to still place/mix with Lift's snippet tags?
As Scala is able to utilise normal Java libraries, it would seem a shame to not, directly, be able to use JSP Tags within Lift, in some guise.
JFYI, I am mainly considering the use of Apache's Reusable Dialog Components:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/rdc-doc/intro.html
for VoiceXML markup.
Cheers

Solution
If you're looking to do that - I have a feeling you're going to get incredibly frustrated with the entire process, give up, and just use some Java frameworks + libs instead of Lift.
In fact, that might be your best approach.
