Description

Just today on November 3rd, i tried out the tomcat7 maven plugin to try out the executable war.
Following the configuration from the http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2.0-SNAPSHOT/executable-war-jar.html, here's the output of my tomcat7:exec-war-only -X :

And my pom :

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>tomcat7-run</id>
<goals>
<goal>exec-war-only</goal>
</goals>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>

<tomcatConfigurationFilesDirectory>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF</tomcatConfigurationFilesDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

The full pom can be found at : http://pastebin.com/6y2nPVBK

From my test, the package phase doesnt seem to trigger the exec-war-only goal in my "mvn package" execution.
And in my "mvn tomcat7:exec-war-only", it doesnt seem to read my tomcatConfigurationFilesDirectory property.

Perhaps im missing something ?

Thanks !
