Tomcat Maven plugin

First step is to set up the Maven, and Tomcat config files:

1. Create a new user in Tomcat's tomcat-users.xml file ($CATALINA_HOME/conf).

2. Add a new server entry, in Maven's setting.xml file ($M2_HOME/conf).

   
      
         tomcatserver
         admin
         tomcat
      
   

3. Setup the plugin, in the pom.xml

         org.codehaus.mojo
         tomcat-maven-plugin
         
            tomcatserver
         
      
...
