DESCRIPTION:

I'm trying to override the maven-tomcat-plugin with the 7.0.53 version of tomcat, but dependency:resolve-plugins says it's not working. I'm not sure if there is a bug with the tomcat plugin, or if the resolve-plugins part of the dependency plugin is simply reporting incorrect data.

Here's a test pom:
