How to Add JSLT Taglibs in a Maven Project?

Here are the dependencies you need to add to your pom.xml, to include JSLT 1.1.2 taglibs in your maven project, for Tomcat:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    <!-- Apache Taglibs does not implement version 1.2 -->
    <version>1.1.2</version>
  </dependency>

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

  <dependency>
    <groupId>taglibs</groupId>
    <artifactId>c</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.2</version>
    <type>tld</type>
  </dependency>

  <dependency>
    <groupId>taglibs</groupId>
    <artifactId>fmt</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.2</version>
    <type>tld</type>
  </dependency>

If you want to use JSLT version 1.2 with Tomcat, set the following dependencies:

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

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
  <artifactId>jstl-impl</artifactId>
  <version>1.2</version>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
      <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    </exclusion>
    <exclusion>
      <artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
      <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
    </exclusion>
    <exclusion>
      <artifactId>jstl-api</artifactId>
      <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>

For GlassFish:

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