Compilation Error in Servlet program

I am getting compilation error in servlet class while attempting to compile a program. The error is

    Access restriction: The type HttpServlet is not accessible 
due to restriction on required library D:\Temp\eclipse\plugins\javax.servlet_2.5.0.v201103041518.jar

The error I am getting in the first line itself-

public class Servlet extends HttpServlet

I am using Eclipse indigo and Apache Tomcat 7 for running this code. As I am new to servlet so I am not familiar with this error. Please help me figuring this out.

"Servlet" is already the name of an interface in the Servlet API. If you look at the API Javadoc you can see that in fact javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet implements javax.servlet.Servlet. Try using a different name for you class, such as MyServlet
