Maven build produces a WAR with web.xml only - maven

Question

I'm using NetBeans and Maven build. Please bear with me as I'm new to Maven:
When building a WebApp (servlets), the build completes successfully, but the WAR file does not have any classes or JARs with dependencies. The classes are in the target directory file structure, but not added to the WAR.
I tried different things, including jar-with-dependencies plugin and maven-jar-plugin, but that only generates JARs outside of the WAR file with the required classes and dependencies' JARs. WAR only has web.xml.
Tried the archiveClasses and attachClasses for the maven-war-plugin separately and together to no avail.
Any help and wisdom will be greatly appreciated!
