Description

It would be great to have the ability to deploy a webapp to Tomcat without using HTTP and the Tomcat Manager, by simply doing a filesystem copy of the built war file to the location specified.

We currently use an ant profile to do this, but want to replace this with a proper plugin.

We will be looking at contributing this feature in the near future.
