I\'m a beginner and learning spring and hibernate (utilizing maven in project)and came across this problem and got stuck here. tried finding solution but ended up no where.
The superclass “javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet” was not found on the Java Build Path
Error: "Can not find the tag library descriptor for "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
Solution: Adding the tomcat server in the server runtime will do the job : Project Properties-> Java Build Path-> Add Library -> Select "Server Runtime" from the list-> Next->Select "Apache Tomcat"-> Finish
This solution work for me.
