Tomcat Maven Plugin now supports tomcat7

Hello,
After moving the Tomcat Maven Plugin from Codehaus to Apache in the Tomcat land (see previous post), I have found some time to start hacking on it.
The first feature I wanted to add was support of Apache Tomcat 7.x. So it's now implemented in trunk.
You can test it see how to configure that in your poms: http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2.0-SNAPSHOT/snapshot-test.html.

NOTE the important changes with the move to Apache and the support of Apache Tomcat 7.x:

  • You know have two "mojos": tomcat6:* and tomcat7:$

  • The groupId is now: org.apache.tomcat.maven

  • All goals are not supported: I will work on that :-)



So you can know use tomcat7 in embedded way within your Apache Maven build with: tomcat7:run.

Feel free to report any issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT

Have Fun!
