Maven Eclipse Tomcat ClassNotFoundException

Question

I created web App Test Project using the following Maven command:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.vanilla.cache -DartifactId=TestProject -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false

After it I converted this project to Eclipse

mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0

After it I created new Servet named com.vanilla.test.TestServlet in eclipse and when I'm running it using Tomcat 7.0. I'm getting the following error.

SEVERE: Allocate exception for servlet Test
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.vanilla.test.TestServlet

Please help. What am I missing?

how are you "running" it? from Eclipse? packaging the war and deploying it to Tomcat? — Alonso Dominguez

Does it run fine when deployed to tomcat standalone (outside Eclipse)? — Raghuram

This is the first test you should check to run on command line outside of eclipse. — khmarbaise

I solved the problem.

Project - > Properties -> Java Build Path -> Source .

I added /src and restarted tomcat.

Maven standard source directory is src/main/java .. I would recommend to move your sources there for better integration.
