Java ClassNotFoundException with maven dependency

Change provided to compile

Provided

This is much like compile, but indicates you expect the JDK or a container to provide the dependency at runtime. For example, when building a web application for the Java Enterprise Edition, you would set the dependency on the Servlet API and related Java EE APIs to scope provided because the web container provides those classes. This scope is only available on the compilation and test classpath, and is not transitive.

<scope>provided</scope>

"Provided" scope implies that the dependencies should be available only during compile phase and they will be available elsewhere during runtime and Maven shouldn't package them with the rest of the jars and classes of the current application.

Your dependency doesn't seem to be of "provided" scope. Remove that scope from your dependency definition and the jars will be present in your packaged jar/war/ear.
