pom.xml ... 1st line was showing error due to eclipse bug. Had to downgrade maven-jar-plugin as follows:

<properties>
	<java.version>1.8</java.version>
	<maven-jar-plugin.version>3.1.1</maven-jar-plugin.version>
</properties>

tomcat-jasper (same version as embedded tomcat in maven dependencies) needs to be added to pom.xml. This converts our jsp's to servlets.
