I have the following dependency in my pom.xml so that my IDE (IntelliJ) has the servlet-api classes available during compilation, but not provided in the build.

For Gradle users, a setup with Jetty running an embedded webapp based on Spring WebMVC works with the following dependencies:

apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'jetty'
apply plugin: 'eclipse-wtp'
dependencies {

   // Logging support
   compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.7'
   runtime 'org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.7'

   // Spring WebMVC part
   compile 'org.springframework:spring-web:4.0.6.RELEASE'
   compile 'org.springframework:spring-webmvc:4.0.6.RELEASE'
   compile 'org.springframework:spring-context:4.0.6.RELEASE'
   compile 'org.springframework:spring-core:4.0.6.RELEASE'
   compile 'org.springframework:spring-beans:4.0.6.RELEASE'
   compile 'org.springframework:spring-expression:4.0.6.RELEASE'

   // Jetty support
   compile 'org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server:8.1.4.v20120524'
   compile 'org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlet:8.1.4.v20120524'
   compile 'org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-webapp:8.1.4.v20120524'
   compile 'org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-jsp:8.1.4.v20120524'

   // Web Container interaction
   //providedCompile 'javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5'
   runtime 'jstl:jstl:1.2'

   // Unit Testing
   testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
   testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-all:1.9.5'
   testCompile 'org.springframework:spring-test:3.2.0.RELEASE'
