Using jakarta instead of javax gives the error javax.servlet.jsp cannot be resolved to a type when using ${pageContext.response.locale} in JSP

Question

Recently I started migrating my Spring Framework MVC project to Tomcat 10 and Jakarta and while doing this I am stuck with 1 strange error. In my JSP file I usually had the following code:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="sec" uri="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" %>

    <c:set var="localeCode" value="${pageContext.response.locale}" />
    

Well Eclipse (Spring Tool Suite) gives me the error on this file "javax.servlet.jsp cannot be resolved to a type".

I tried everything I could think off and now do not know how to proceed. When I remove the "${pageContext.response.locale}" part from the JSP the error disappears.

Any ideas what could be the case?

In my MAVEN pom file I have the following:

Answer 1

After adding a pom update The error marker was gone:

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
            <artifactId>jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.1</version> <!-- Use the appropriate version -->
        </dependency>

The final pom looked like this:

<properties>
        <spring.version>5.3.28</spring.version>
        <security.version>5.5.0</security.version>
        <jackson.version>1.9.12</jackson.version>       
    </properties>
