Getting 'taglib directive for "f" does not exist or TLD is not found' [message #260532]

Hi,

I'm using Eclipse 3.4 and when I open my JSF page in Eclipse, I'm getting
red "x"'s next to my JSF directives. For example,

<f:view>

has a red "x" along the left margin and when I roll over it, it gives me
the error, 'taglib directive for "f" does not exist or TLD is not found.'
This is odd because I have the appropriate directives, including

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>

at the top of my page. Strangely, the "<%@" portion appears in red. Does
anyone know how I can get Eclipse to recognize the listed directives?

Thanks, - Dave

I had the same problem a couple of times. I just rewrote the line and it
was fine. But to be sure, do you have jstl.jar in the build path?

Thanks for your reply. When I right click on my project, select
"Properties", click the "Libraries" tab, jstl-1.1.0.jar - (directory it is
in) appears. But beneath it read

Source Attachment: (none)
Javadoc location: (None)
Native Library Location: (None)
Access rules: (No restrictions)

Not sure if these are problematic or not. When you mentioned you rewrote
the '<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>' line,
how did you rewrite it?

Thanks again, - Dave

K, I just looked and I also have it in a WEB-INF/lib folder.

I just retyped it on the next line.

JSTL and JSF aren't provided by the same jars, are they?

No they aren't...my bad. There is a separate jsf-api.jar
