Absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application error in tomcat

Question

I just deleted the tomcat server and added it back in Eclipse Kepler and then I am getting this error when I run my project.Before deleting the server there was no issues.

Part of my POM contains :

 <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
            <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
            <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
            <version>1.2</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

and My JSP page contains :

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

I tried other solutions from Here but did not resolve my issue.Any help is greatly appreciated.

JSTL is not part of Servlets. – user207421 Jun 24 '14 at 19:57 — user207421, Jun 24 '14 at 19:57

Try this one from mvnrepository

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

Adding this worked, adding the jar to Tomcat didn't.

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