Jstl problem, jasperException uri not found

i have a problem with JSTL, i'm using Eclipse ide and created a new Web-application project version 2.5

I have downloaded the jstl-1.2.jar which contains both jstl1.1 and standard jars, and properly added in the libraries of my project.

The way i'm referencing the taglib is:

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

as specified by the c.tld file:

      <description>JSTL 1.1 core library</description>
  <display-name>JSTL core</display-name>
  <tlib-version>1.1</tlib-version>
  <short-name>c</short-name>
  <uri>http://java.sun.com/开发者_StackOverflow中文版jsp/jstl/core</uri>

Eclipse does not underline anything in red or does not give any warning so the taglib reference is fine, i dont know though, why, wenever i run the project i get the following error:

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

Well thats not true because that uri is in the c.tld file which is one of the files used to deploy the application.

Now to be honest, this works fine in another IDE which i wont mention for market-related reasons, is just that i want it to work in eclipse as well.

do you have any advice?

You had just to drop the JAR file in /WEB-INF/lib, not elsewhere and then fiddle with buildpath.
