JSF Project in Eclipse with Maven gives ClassNotFoundException for FacesServlet

I've created a Maven project in Eclipse. From "project facets" menu I selected Dynamic Web Module, Java and Java Server Faces. Added some dependencies from pom.xml successfully like jsf-api and servlet-api. Then I wrote a simple Java bean and an xhtml page that uses the bean.

When I build war file with "maven clean install" and deploy it to Tomcat manually, it works as expected. But when I select "Run on Server" from Eclipse it gives the following error:

SEVERE: Servlet /testjsf1 threw load() exception
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet

It seems jsf libraries are not linked as expected when it is run from Eclipse. Do you have any idea about the cause of this behaviour?

In "Project Properties" -> "Deployment Assembly", adding "Java Build Path Entries -> Maven Dependencies" solves the problem!
