maven-t7-plugin

It's so easy to run Tomcat 7 (or 6 if you want) in your Maven project. Just add corresponding groupId, artifactId and version to your pom.xml.

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.googlecode.t7mp</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-t7-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>0.9.10.M8</version>
</plugin>
            

Start your build as usual with the following goal:

mvn t7:run

That's it.
