• You shoshould invokemvn
package(Or right-click> Maven> package) and obtain a war file-<packaging>(In
  The POM) must bewar
• Your dependencies shocould be with the default scope (if they areprovidedOrtestThey
  Will not be encoded in the archive)
• If you are running the project as dynamic web project on a server within eclipse, then you shoshould 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.

Also, you can use run as in eclipse. Create a Maven build use goal "Tomcat: Run"
