this is my very first Java webapp and I'm trying to integrate a template bootstrap(https://github.com/colorlibhq/AdminLTE) as my front end.

I'm getting the 404 error, GET http://localhost:8080/style.css net::ERR_ABORTED 404 and i cant seem load all the files needed for my index.jsp file

This is my project structure: Project Structure

I cannot seem to find the right URL to access the files.They plugins for example are located inside Webcontent > assets > admin > plugins

I tried using ${pageContext.request.contextPath} but it hasn't worked 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath }/WebContent/assets/admin/plugins/tempusdominus-bootstrap-4/css/tempusdominus-bootstrap-4.min.css">

I honestly dk what is going on and can i also ask the difference between Java resources and Web Content? I would really appreciate it if you were to share resources with me on developing web applications using java, so far.

YOu have to give relative path of your css file 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./WebContent/assets/admin/plugins/tempusdominus-bootstrap-4/css/tempusdominus-bootstrap-4.min.css">
