Description

I found several problems on the superb and very useful "tomcat-maven-archetype"

The improvement I propos are the followings:

1/
"groupId" and "version" can have default values but should be prompt for user value the same way as for "version" of "org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.1"

"org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.1" proposes a default "version" and prompt the user for modification at the same time. Pressing enter validate the default value.

2/
Following variables are not in used:
artifactId-api
artifactId-api-impl
artifactId-webapp
artifactId-webapp-exec
artifactId-webapp-it

This variables should impact the "mvn archetype:generate" behaviour

3/
I propos to change the default values of :
artifactId-api = ${artifactId}-api
artifactId-api-impl = ${artifactId}-api-impl
artifactId-webapp = ${artifactId}-webapp
artifactId-webapp-exec = ${artifactId}-webapp-exec
artifactId-webapp-it = ${artifactId}-webapp-it

4/
rootArtifactId cat be renamed as artifactId with no default value

I will propos patches for this later. I, first, have to understand "archetype" framework.
