I am really confused. JSTL 1.0/1.1 can be downloaded from Apache website, while JSTL 1.2 is only downloadable from jstl.java.net???

JSTL is an API. What you can download from the Apache website is an implementation of that API. Apparently they don't offer JSTL 1.2 as a separate download, but it is part of Apache Tomcat 7 for example. Much like the page you link to is the implementation that is delivered as part of Glassfish.
This is no different from for example the servlet-api and the jsp-api. You don't download implementations for those APIs either, they are part of the servlet container / application server. -

In addition, when I create a new project in Eclipse for serlvet 3.0 with Tomcat 7 as server runtime, I still have to import jstl-xxx.jar files from outside. What could be missing?
