[FIXED] "Cannot find tag library descriptor" error in myEclipse

Issue

I imported a project from Github into myElcipse (latest version) and I'm using Tomcat 9.0 version for deployment. The project itself was looking for the Tomcat v 7.0, which wasn't in my system so I switched it to v 9.0 and it worked. But after that, I received the following problem :

Can not find the tag library descriptor for "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"

My directory looks somewhat like this

And these are what the errors look like.

Now, I saw that you need to have the jstl files in your WEB-INF**->**lib folder. But there was no lib folder within my WEB-INF. Atleast, not according to this project. Can anyone tell me what changes I should make in order to rectify this error?

Here's a sample code snippet that contains one of these errors.

Solution

You can try like this:

try to download the jstl jar from the this link http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/j/Downloadjstljar.htm and add that jar into the lib folder if present or else you can follow the below steps to add the jar into your project directly.

1. Right click on the project -->build Path -->Configure Build Path -->Add External jars (select the jstl jar which was downloaded from above link) -->Apply -->Ok.

This way you can add that jar to your project.
