java - Error: Could not find or load main class when class extends HttpServlet

Question

I have this class:

public class Test  {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("hey");
    }
}

it works fine. But if I make it extend HttpServlet:

public class Test extends HttpServlet {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("hey");
    }
}

I get a Error: Could not find or load main class Test error.

I also use Maven, but in this case try to compile&run the class by hand in Idea Intellij.

Edit: I import servlet like this:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.1</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

I also tried to test other dependency:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.jsoup</groupId>
        <artifactId>jsoup</artifactId>
        <version>1.11.3</version>
</dependency>

public class TestServlet {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("hi");
        Jsoup soup;
    }


}

works fine. The moment I add extends HttpServlet, I get the error again.

Add the Servlets API file to your Classpath. I wonder you didn't imported it too, if not, import it.
