Description

Using the plugin like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<configuration>
<additionalClasspathDirs>
<additionalClasspathDir>${project.build.directory}/../../../mits-common-parent/common-ui/src/main/resource$
<additionalClasspathDir>${project.build.directory}/../src/main/webapp</additionalClasspathDir>
</additionalClasspathDirs>
</configuration>
</plugin>

I run Tomcat like this:
mvn tomcat7:run
The application starts and runs fine. But, when the classloader loads a resource that is in one of the additionalClasspathDir entries, it loads it from the .war, not from the additionalClasspathDir location. Nothing I do seems to make Tomcat use the additionalClasspathDir entries.
