You can use JSTL's forEach tag. But don't use var="item". Use the varStatus attribute instead, to access the list directly via the current loop index. I let you figure out how to write it.

Why "2*" ? status.index will return you the proper index.

Also, you'll have to be careful that the list contains pairs. If the array ends with a single element, put your helmet on, this is going to blow.

Then why do you not have 2 arrays, or an array whose elements are an array with 2 elements?

Rather than skipping every other item, I'd make the structure represent the data better. A 2D array, if you will.
