I am willing to learn, so my "requirements" may be wrong.

Tell me, where is my error in reasoning? You should IMO focus on the Maven part and get it right; then make it work in/with your IDE Well, we have passed some milestones in this thread (eclipse error, scope=provided yes or no). But at the point we are now, it's nothing but a Maven issue: Creating a package with maven (mvn package) creates a package (war) with missing jar files. To make a long story short: - Before Maven I created a war file with all necessary jar files in WEB-INF/lib - With Maven this war file is actually missing those jar files. Please don't pay too much attention on my "requirements". They may be wrong, since I don't know how it should be done the usual way...
