I have created a maven project using — maven-archetype-webapp in Eclipse IDE.

I was able to create and execute the index.jsp, but now I need to create a new servlet. But when I right click the project and select a new servlet (New->Other->Web->Servlet) I cannot see my maven project in the dropdown, hence I cannot create the servlet using the Eclipse IDE in my Maven project.

Can some one point out why this is happening. I am new to Maven.

Thank You,

Edit – My web.xml

 <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
  "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" >
 <web-app>
   <display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>
   <welcome-file-list>
     <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
   </welcome-file-list>  
 </web-app>

    IF you are not able to create servlet from the menu.
    Check the following.

    1. Check if Web.xml file is created by maven in the WEB-INF folder.
      If not create it.

    2. Is the project shown as a Web Project Or Not?
      Right Click On
      Project->Properties->Project Facets-> Check if Dynamic Web Module is
      selected or not.?
      Select it for making the project as a web project.
