I am having a probably silly issue with starting up my Maven project in Eclipse. I am creating a job application portal and I am using the following uri code
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
This is my index.jsp page for reference:
<%@page import="com.DB.DBConnect" %>
<%@page import="java.sql.Connection" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>AppUp - CUS 1156</title>
<%@include file="all_component/all_css.jsp"%>
<style type="text/css">
.back-img {
background: url("img/header-image.jpg");
width: 100%;

background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<%@include file="all_component/navbar.jsp"%>
<% Connection conn = DBConnect.getConn();
out.println(conn);
%>

When I run the application, I get this error:

This is my web.xml:
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"

<web-app>
<display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>
</web-app>
And I have also attached an image of the structure of my code.
As you can see, there is no jstl.jar file within the WEB-INF/lib folder. Is this something I need to download online? I already have tomcat up and running (10.0.27) and I put the jstl dependency in my pom.xml. Sorry if this is a silly question, this is my first time working on a project like this.
Any help is extremely appreciated, thank you so much!
