java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer JERSEY error

Question

I am trying to build maven jersey project, I am getting a clean build. But while running it on tomcat I am getting the following error

SEVERE: Servlet [Jersey REST Service] in web application [/dev-clinicaltextanalysis] threw load() exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer

This is pom.xml and I have added all the relevant jersey dependencies.

                 <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
                 </servlet-mapping> 
     </web-app>

Can anyone help in solving this issue. I have clean install built and also cleaned the server as well.
