Adding jstl as a Maven Dependency

Question

I'm using Eclipse to add Maven Dependencies to my project.

While going to the create pom.xml then clicking the dependencies tab, I'm able to select spring jar dependencies but I cannot find or load jstl from here. Does anyone know how to automatically do it from this screen, or does this always have to be manually typed in to the pom.xml

javax.servlet.jsp.jstl <-- I believe is the current

Solution 1

Add this to your pom and change the versions if you want :

<groupId>javax</groupId>
        <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
        <version>6.0</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.5</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
    </dependency>

Solution 2

You're seeing it because of

Try to add this

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

Instead of this

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

It'll solve your problem.
