NoClassDefFoundError in IssueTab plugin

[aas]

I've made IssueTab plugin, where I use JqlQueryParser and JqlParseException classes to show info in my custom tab, but when I start my plugin, I have 

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/atlassian/jira/issue/search/SearchException. 

In my pom.xml I have  

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
    <artifactId>jira-api</artifactId>
    <version>${jira.version}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency> 

How can I fix it? Glad to any help.
