To use the plugin you have to add it in the plugin-section in your pom.xml file of your project.
Here is an example (make sure you define the latest release).
<pom> ... ... ... <build> <finalName>simple</finalName> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>com.googlecode.t7mp</groupId> <artifactId>maven-t7-plugin</artifactId> <version>0.9.10.M8</version> </plugin> ... more plugins ... </plugins> </build> ... ... </pom>
To run the Tomcat-Instance you can use the following command (install is to package your project, if you did not yet).
mvn clean install t7:run
