Answer 1

OR... you could simply add the following tag to your plugin configuration

 true

Then when you execute: mvn tomcat7:run, it will start jpda on port 8000.

Funny thing is even though I have tested this and it works, I can't find any code in the opensource code base to explain why it works, nor have I found any way to change from the default port 8000.

Apache seems to have dropped the ball when it comes to documentation of this plugin.
