I am trying to follow a Servlet 3.0 tutorial which refers to @WebServletContextListener. However, I cannot find such an annotation in my javaee-web-api-6.0.jar dependency (I am using maven).

So, where is @WebServletContextListener?

The annotation is called @WebListener. And you still have to implement ServletContextListener.
