I have a java REST maven project like this. pom.xml

and my server class
package org.perinjan.rest;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
@Path("/princeServer")
public class PrinceServer {
@GET
@Path("/testConnection")
public Response testConnection(){
String output = "Successfully connected to server! Welcome!";
return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();
}
}
When I create this project from scratch, everything works fine, so I add more and more stuff and then I decide I want to reuse this code for other projects, so I copy this whole project and run this same code again. But suddenly I get this exception:

I googled for almost two hours and I am getting kinda desperate. I tried moving the PrinceServer class around different packages over and over, I always changed the package inside the web.xml and I still got this message. I am getting kinda hopeless as I cannot even touch this code again to not broke it. I cannot copy this project, move it around, use it as module or dependency for other projects. Nothing. And I don't really know where the mistake is. Internet hasn't helped me in anything... I am learning multimaven projects and also separate projects that can communicate between themselfs using REST services. But with this code I am not able to make anything like that and this really blocks me in almost everything I do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
