JSP useBean: Undefined type error

I have configured Jetty at my Project (Eclipse Neon).

I've created index.jsp under WebContent folder, and my Java class is under WebContent/WEB-INF/classes/foo. The class name is FooClass.java.

At index.jsp, I've set this:

<jsp:useBean id="R1" class="foo.FooClass"/>

Eclipse is alerting me on the useBean tag saying foo.FooClass is an undefined type. What have I done wrong?

Unless WebContent/WEB-INF/classes is listed on the project's Java Build Path as a Class Folder or a Source Folder, and not just an output folder that you've added the class file to yourself, it won't be found by anything the project attempts to compile or validate.
