I have some problems with my maven project in Eclipse (webapp archetype). I wrote a simple appliaction with a single .jsp and a servlet. .jsp pages work fine but accessing a servlet results in a Class not found exception.
I think the problem is that maven (and also eclipse) deploys the servlet class as Servlet.java and not Servlet.class (in the wtpwebapps > .. > WEB\_INF > classes >> etc. ).

The same code written as a Dynamic Web Application works fine because servlet is deployed by Eclipse with a .class extension. 

I would like to stick with a Maven project so could you give me any hint on how to fix that?
