I ran into similar problems a few days ago on a different project.
All of those classes are servlet style classes, from the Java servlet
API (javax.servlet.*).  These are not ever shipped with the Java SDK,
AFAIK.  If you want to get them, I think you need to add the
servlet-api.jar file from a servlet container (if going that route, I
would tend to use Tomcat, but Jetty is another good option).

Hope that helps.
