Error after upgrading to Jasper 5.5.0 - jasper-reports

Question

After upgrading the Jasper Version to 5.5.0, I am getting error while compiling the report from server/Jenkins. In my local machine it is working fine. Any idea what can be the reason. Below is the log:
[WARNING] POM for 'commons-logging:commons-logging:pom:99.0-does-not-exist:runtime' is invalid.
Its dependencies (if any) will NOT be available to the current build.

Try adding the servlet API as a plugin dependency. For example:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jasperreports-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-beta-2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>compile-reports</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies>
<!--note this must be repeated here to pick up correct xml validation -->
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId>
<artifactId>jasperreports</artifactId>
<version>5.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
