Hello, experts!

I am trying to create instance of class javax.servlet.ServletException with following code

public class MyTroubleViewer {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  javax.servlet.ServletException servletException = new javax.servlet.ServletException("Hello");
  System.out.println(servletException.getMessage());
 }
}

But I get exception on creating:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/servlet/ServletException
...

Maven helps me with dependecies:

<dependency>
 <groupId>javax</groupId>
 <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
 <version>6.0</version>
 <type>jar</type>
 <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

What am I doing wrong?
