Minor Description
Even with a fix archetype (see issue CAMEL-4544), the only way to get the console running is to launch "mvn jetty:run".
To reproduce, generate a project with the archetype
"mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-archetype-webconsole -DarchetypeVersion=2.9-SNAPSHOT"
When the project is launched with "mvn tomcat:run", it does not display any error

And localhost:8080 show a white page
I tried with tomcat-maven-plugin 2.0-SNAPSHOT and "mvn tomcat6:run" or "mvn tomcat7:run", with no success.
If you package the application with "mvn package" and drop the war in a tomcat server (7.0.22 for me) or a jetty server (7.5.3v20111011), the application start with no error, but localhost:8080 display a 404 page.
Out of the box, I think the project should be able to run with tomcat and jetty at least (with or without maven plugin).
