Right click on your project -  properties -  build path  Add to your build path jar file s  that have the javax servlet implemenation  Ite depends on your servlet container or application server what file s  you need to include  so search for that information

When you define a server in server view  then it will create you a server runtime library with server libs  including servlet api   that can be assigned to your project  However  then everybody that uses your project  need to create the same type of runtime in his her eclipse workspace even for compiling   If you directly download the servlet api jar  than it could lead to problems  since it will be included into the artifacts of your projects  but will be also present in servlet container   In Maven it is much nicer  since you can define the servlet api interfaces as a  provided  dependency  that means it is present in the  to be production  environment
