Eclipse jsp jstl error – Cannot find the tag library descriptor for http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core

You get that error for the missing tld when standard.jar and jstl.jar are not found. If you are using maven, adding the following should fix it.

<!– standard.jar –>
<dependency>
<groupId>taglibs</groupId>
<artifactId>standard</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
</dependency>

<!– JSTL –>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
</dependency>

Try restarting Eclipse if the error doesn’t go away after adding this.

Do drop me a comment if this or something else works for you!

    Excellent read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing a little research on that. And he just bought me lunch as I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch! “There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.” by Jules Renard.
