luigi7up's post above worked for me. I'm using tomcat 7.0.37, maven 3.1.1, and jersey 1.17.1. I did the right click -> properties -> Deployment Assembly -> Click Add -> Java Build Path Entries -> selected Maven Dependencies. I then clicked ok.

When I first tried this, I noticed that I no longer received the "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer" error, but I then noticed that I was getting other 'class not found' messages (unfortunately, I didn't document what messages those were). I was using the following jersey dependency:

    com.sun.jersey
    jersey-bundle
    1.17.1

I took that out and put in the following dependencies:

    com.sun.jersey
    jersey-server
    1.17.1


    com.sun.jersey
    jersey-core
    1.17.1


    com.sun.jersey
    jersey-servlet
    1.17.1

Things began to work after that.

Hope this helps someone!
