        <name>PrimeFaces Maven Repository</name>  
        <url>http://repository.primefaces.org</url>

java doc says

NoClassDefFoundError Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine or a ClassLoader instance tries to load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method call or as part of creating a new instance using the new expression) and no definition of the class could be found.

The searched-for class definition existed when the currently executing class was compiled, but the definition can no longer be found.

org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItem is a class in FileUpload component of Apache Commons which is missing in your class path. Add following maven dependency for FileUpload component in your pom.xml.

 <dependency>   
    <groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>     
    <version>x.x</version>
 </dependency>

Commons collection is missing add commons collection jar

Basit Over a year ago

I had included this jar commons-collection but still i was getting the error. Then i remove the dependency

<dependency><groupId>commons-io</groupId> <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId><version>20030203.000550</version></dependency>

and now things are ok :). Sure i will definitely accept your answer :) ;)

Why are you copying the words from an older answer of mine instead of writing in your own words and referencing the found duplicate question/answer as a link and if necessary in a blockquote? The downvote is not for the answer, but for the plagiarism. Once you fix that, I'll remove the downvote.
