web app started by jetty runner not working with jstl tags?

Used this command to start the web app using jetty-runner java -jar prject123/web/target/dependency/jetty-runner.jar project123/web/target/*.war

The jstl code I have is as simple as this: <c:out value="hi there"></c:out>, the source code I get from the rendered web page is <c:out value></c:out> so seems that the jstl tags are completed unparsed .

I should mention that other than using jetty-runner, other ways to start the web app seems to work well with jstl tag, for example mvn -pl project123/web jetty:run-exploded

I have been really struggling with this issue. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

To answer Daniel's questions: I am using 8.1.0.RC4 for jetty-runner and maven jetty plugin. Also I have included jstl 1.2 in my pom file.

     <dependency>
        <groupId>jstl</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
    </dependency>

And the jsp page source code is 

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title>JSP Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello!!</h1> <c:out value="you!"> </c:out>
    </body>
</html>

I think you also need the standard taglibs dependency

    <dependency>
        <groupId>taglibs</groupId>
        <artifactId>standard</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.2</version>
    </dependency>

and maybe change the jstl dependency to javax.servlet?

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

java --lib project123/web/$PATH_TO_THE_LIB -jar prject123/web/target/dependency/jetty-runner.jar project123/web/target/*.war

--lib tells jetty runner to load the jars in the specified path.
