Tomcat 8 Maven Plugin for Java 8

Question

Is the tomcat7-maven-plugin working with a tomcat 8 server and java 8? I can\'t find any tomcat8-maven-plugin.

Answer 1

groupId and Mojo name change Since version 2.0-beta-1 tomcat mojos has been renamed to tomcat6 and tomcat7 with the same goals.

You must configure your pom to use this new groupId:

  
    
      org.apache.tomcat.maven
      tomcat6-maven-plugin
      2.3-SNAPSHOT
    
    
      org.apache.tomcat.maven
      tomcat7-maven-plugin
      2.3-SNAPSHOT
    
  

Or add the groupId in your settings.xml

.... org.apache.tomcat.maven ....
