• Type: Bug
• Status: Open

Description

The plugin works perfectly running Tomcat with my project web application.
I do "mvn tomcat7:run" and the server is started, the webapp is deployed and I can browse to it.

If I add the <fork /> attribute, though, the server crashes.

Here's (a portion of) my pom:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>

<configuration>
<address>localhost</address>
<port>8080</port>
<path>/</path>
<uriEncoding>UTF-8</uriEncoding>
</configuration>
</plugin>

(I'll add the stacktrace later)
