Tomcat 8 integration with Maven
Solution 1
Can you use the cargo pluygin instead, this works for me, deploying to tomcat8 :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4.8</version>
<configuration>
<container>
<containerId>tomcat8x</containerId>
<home>${env.CATALINA_HOME}</home>
</container>
<configuration>
<type>existing</type>
<home>${env.CATALINA_HOME}</home>
</configuration>
<deployables>
<deployable>
<groupId>com.yourcompany</groupId>
<artifactId>ROOT</artifactId>
<type>war</type>
<properties>
<context>${project.build.finalName}</context>
</properties>
</deployable>
</deployables>
<deployer>
<type>installed</type>
</deployer>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Solution 2
Example of how to run your war with cargo & tomcat8
mvn clean verify org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:run -Dcargo.maven.containerId=tomcat8x -Dcargo.maven.containerUrl=http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tomcat/tomcat/8.5.9/tomcat-8.5.9.zip
If you want to add it to your pom
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${cargo.version}</version>
<configuration>
<container>
<containerId>tomcat8x</containerId>
<zipUrlInstaller>
<url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tomcat/tomcat/8.5.9/tomcat-8.5.9.zip</url>
</zipUrlInstaller>
</container>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Then to run you war (if your pom is a war)
mvn cargo:run
To run with debug (memory options not necessary)
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${cargo.version}</version>
<configuration>
<container>
<containerId>tomcat8x</containerId>
<zipUrlInstaller>
<url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tomcat/tomcat/8.5.9/tomcat-8.5.9.zip</url>
</zipUrlInstaller>
</container>
<configuration>
<properties>
<!-- <cargo.servlet.port>8200</cargo.servlet.port> -->
<cargo.jvmargs>-Xmx2048m -Xms512m</cargo.jvmargs>
<cargo.start.jvmargs>-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000</cargo.start.jvmargs>
</properties>
</configuration>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Then you need to create a remote debug configuration in your IDE on port 8000 (port by default if nothing specified)

Just in case you use a separate Tomcat local server. If you use embedded tomcat, this is not applicable.
In your pom.xml, add the tomcat plugin. (You can use this for both Tomcat 7 and 8):
pom.xml
<!-- Tomcat plugin -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<url>http:// localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
<server>TomcatServer</server> *(From maven > settings.xml)*
<username>*yourtomcatusername*</username>
<password>*yourtomcatpassword*</password>
</configuration>
</plugin>
tomcat-users.xml
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<user username="admin" password="password" roles="manager-gui,manager-script" />
</tomcat-users>
settings.xml (maven > conf)
<servers>
<server>
<id>TomcatServer</id>
<username>admin</username>
<password>password</password>
</server>
</servers>
* deploy/re-deploy
mvn tomcat7:deploy OR mvn tomcat7:redeploy
Tried this on (Both Ubuntu and Windows 8/10):
* Jdk 7 & Tomcat 7
* Jdk 7 & Tomcat 8
* Jdk 8 & Tomcat 7
* Jdk 8 & Tomcat 8
Tested on Both Jdk 7/8 & Tomcat 7/8. (Works with Tomcat 8.5 Also, will test Tomcat 9 soon)
Note:
Tomcat manager should be running or properly setup, before you can use it with maven.

For Tomcat 8, you should use cargo-maven2-plugin, which works for both maven 2 and maven 3. When configuration cargo plugin, make sure that the value for Container Id is "tomcat8x". Do NOT omit the "x" after tomcat8.

It sounds like Eclipse (Kepler) does not have a proper plugin for Tomcat 8. I want to deploy my .war into Tomcat 8 and run it by Maven pom.xml file. Can anyone provide me step-by-step guidance or any resources, please?
My POM file:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>Test-App</groupId> <artifactId>test-rest</artifactId> <packaging>war</packaging> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>test-rest Maven Webapp</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <!-- Tomcat plugin --> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2</version> <configuration> <path>/${project.build.finalName}</path> <update>true</update> <url>http:// localhost:8080/manager/text</url> <username>tomcat</username> <password>tomcatuser</password> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> <finalName>test-rest</finalName> </build> </project>
