For me, Brad Parks's answer didn't worked in Eclipse Luna ( 4.4.2 ) i.e. Adding Web App Libraries had no effect ..that remained empty.

What I had to is to configure Web Deployment Assembly ...My lib was in WEB-INF which was again like - /{project}/web/WEB-INF/lib and when I added a Deployment Assembly entry like shown below ,
