**[Guillaume Boué](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=gboue)** commented It would be possible to check for the presence of [`javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet`](http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/servlet/annotation/WebServlet.html). This annotation was introduced in the Servlet 3.0 API and replaces the `<servlet>` declaration in the `web.xml`. So if that class isn't in the compile classpath of the `MavenProject` being built, a `web.xml` should be present. How about the possible solution? Call `mavenProject.getCompileClasspathElements()`, create a new `URLClassLoader` for the paths of that list and use this classloader to determine if that class can be loaded. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
