Description

Please provide initial version of Tomcat8 Maven Plugin.

I tried the recommendations in http://tomcat.10.x6.nabble.com/Tomcat-8-Tomcat-Maven-Plugin-2-2-Tomcat8-Maven-Plugin-td4995858.html#none

but the guideline http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-trunk/tomcat7-maven-plugin/adjust-embedded-tomcat-version.html

does not work for Tomcat8 .

The problem is in changed Tomcat 8 API, the maven throws folloving exception:
at org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultBuildPluginManager.executeMojo(DefaultBuildPluginManager.java:142)
... 20 more
by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat.setDefaultRealm(Lorg/apache/catalina/Realm;)V
at org.apache.tomcat.maven.plugin.tomcat7.run.AbstractRunMojo.startContainer(AbstractRunMojo.java:999)
at org.apache.tomcat.maven.plugin.tomcat7.run.AbstractRunMojo.execute(AbstractRunMojo.java:514)
at org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultBuildPluginManager.executeMojo(DefaultBuildPluginManager.java:106)
... 20 more

The method setDefaultRealm is deprecated in Tomcat7 and was removed in Tomcat8 as described in documentation:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/api/org/apache/catalina/startup/Tomcat.html#setDefaultRealm(org.apache.catalina.Realm)
