I didn't have time to finish the code and import it to the repository. I'll do that tomorrow morning.

The Pizza's example is added to the repository. You need to have the m2eclipse plugin to check it out to Eclipse.

also i am unable to specify a target runtime(my tomcat) for the imported project? do i need to configure in any specific way link it to my tomcat server?

professor i did the import from the eclipse > maven port... i was wondering where the  jstl.jar and standard.jar have been placed for this project...
are they supposed to be in the src folder ? where can i find the lib folder in this case? 

The pizzas code (and all other examples) uses Maven to manage dependencies so there's no need to manually copy the jar files to the project. We'll cover Maven on Monday.

okay... does that mean currently for my 520 environment i have installed maven m2e-wtp and m2e-subclipse and  all the listed plugins  from your guide at  http://csns.calstatela.edu/wiki/content/cysun/course_materials/cs520/development ...

does that mean i wont need to import the .jar on the tomcat directory for jstl ?

That depends on whether you use a Dynamic Web Project or a Maven project. For a Dynamic Web Project, you still need to include the jar files yourself (by putting them under either Tomcat /lib or project /WEB-INF/lib). If you use a Maven project (as described at http://csns.calstatela.edu/wiki/content/cysun/course_materials/cs520/sham/webapp), you just need to specify the JSTL dependency and Maven will take care of the jar files (including downloading them from the web).
