It seems in the last few weeks or so the Maven JSTL dependency has vanished from at least the central repository. This has caused a number of issues around the web.

Oracle has released the separate API and implementation dependencies which is really how they should be broken down. Now, instead of having one javax.servlet.jstl dependency you will use the following:

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

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl-impl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

And this works.

I had the same problem. I solved it by adding Apache Tomcat libraries to the Java build path.

See my screenshots, I am using Maven:

The dependencies mentioned above is not enough for me(using Tomcat 5.x as servlet container, which doesn't provide JSTL implementation itself). It just imports the according JSTL interface package into project, and will cause a runtime error in Tomcat.

Here is the dependency part used in my project, hopefully can help others out. The hardest part is the naming of the Apache's JSTL implementation in repository.

  <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>taglibs</groupId>
        <artifactId>standard</artifactId>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>taglibs</groupId>
        <artifactId>c</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
        <type>tld</type>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>taglibs</groupId>
        <artifactId>fmt</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
        <type>tld</type>
    </dependency>

You need to add it to your pom.xml file.

In the dependencies node you need to add a reference to JSTL. You will probably need to set its scope to compile. So it would look something like this

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
  <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
  <version>"whatever version you need"</version>
  <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

This is assuming you have the proper references to the maven distribution repository in your pom.xml or settings.xml
