Maven dependencies not visible from Tomcat for a Web Project

If you are running the project as dynamic web project on a server within eclipse,

Open the project properties (right click > properties) and select "Deployment Assembly".

There click "add", select "build path entries", and choose "maven dependencies".

This will instruct WTP to send the maven dependencies to the server dir
