Adding JSTL dependies leads to maven issue and not displaying the pages through controller?

Question

<dependency>
    <groupId>jstl</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

Maven issue occurs after adding this

[ERROR] error reading C:\Users\Me\.m2\repository\jstl\jstl\1.2\jstl1.2.jar;
 invalid END header (bad central directory offset)

[ERROR] error reading C:\Users\Me\.m2\repository\org\eclipse\jdt\ecj\3.12.3\ecj-3.12.3.jar; invalid LOC header (bad signature)

[ERROR] error reading C:\Users\Me\.m2\repository\jstl\jstl\1.2\jstl-1.2.jar; invalid END header (bad central directory offset)

After adding above dependencies maven error occurs in spring boot project, controller is also not displays the page after adding this jstl dependencies. But I want jstl dependencies for display the pages.

Seems to be that these jstl jar files are corrupted in your local maven repository. As was said in this post, you can delete this jars from .m2 directory, or remove all content of .m2/repository directory and then rebuild your project.
