Despite JSTL dependency NoClassDefFoundError still appears

Question

I've added JSTL dependency in my pom.xml file, I can see it in lib folder and despite that I'm still getting 500 error with exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/jsp/jstl/core/Config

show us your jsp page. You need to include it in your jsp page also. — Jonathan Laliberte, Apr 07 '18 at 17:44

Add JSTL Maven Dependency :

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

Did you look at this answer :

javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config class not found

The last answer says that it's probably an issue with the servlet version :

The problem was in wrong servlet version in web.xml. I've made it 2.5 and all works.

You can also see dependency relations here :
