Answer 1

In my case solution worked. I did one petty mistake of not starting Apache Tomcat Server.

Apart from this, make user that you do appropriate entry in maven/conf/setting.xml within tag:-

    TomcatServer
    admin
    password

In Apache Tomcat 7 tomcat-users.xml, following line should be added within

In Pom.xml

 
    org.apache.tomcat.maven
    tomcat7-maven-plugin
    2.2
    
        http://localhost:8888/manager/text
        TomcatServer
        $ReplaceWithWarFileName$
        true
        admin
        password
