Description

If there is a WAR dependency, it is extracted to target/apache-tomcat-maven-plugin/ARTIFACT_NAME. This directory is deleted and re-created every invocation of the plugin, meaning that all WAR dependencies are re-extracted every run.

Do not delete these extracted directories. Instead check the last modified timestamp of the directory against the last modified timestamp of the WAR dependency, and re-extract only if the WAR is newer
