Description

I am trying to add additional libraries that are inside an "endorsed" directory inside a pre-packaged tomcat7 with `additionalClasspathDirs` but these are not added.

I run and debugged life (with `mvnDebug`) with v 2.2 and the 3.0-SNAPSHOT found in https://github.com/apache/tomcat-maven-plugin.git and in both cases `additionalClasspathDirs` in `org.apache.tomcat.maven.plugin.tomcat7.run.RunMojo` is null.

Additionally tried with no success:

• Removing the alias from the attribute
• Hardcoding the path with my jars in the same plugin -> the app still failed with ClassNotFound, ¿should I add all the jars instead of a dir?
