Eclipse (Juno) error testing servlet with Tomcat7 - eclipse

Question

I have been beating my head against a wall for 2 days regarding this issue so I finally decided I need to ask for some assistance.
I downloaded a tutorial from a popular site and import the Maven project to my Eclipse session. I set up my TomCat7 server and the project seems to build fine. However when I go to run it on the server in Eclipse I get to the index.jsp page by when I try to move past that I get a ClassNotFoundException:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instantiating servlet class com.mantiso.SimpleServlet

org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:103)

java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source)
org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.TaskThread$WrappingRunnable.run(TaskThread.java:61)
java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
I did an `mvn package` and I manually deployed it to `tomcat7` and it works fine. I am assuming that my ClassPath is missing something that prevents TomCat from finding the `SImpleServlet.class` file.
Does anyone have any advice on debugging this?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
