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">

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>
