I know it was asked a year ago, but my answer might work for somebody other than me.
If creating the build tag in the pom.xml
file not works, try editing the settings.xml
file at your .m2 directory this way:
<pluginGroups>
...
<pluginGroup>org.apache.tomcat.maven</pluginGroup>
...
</pluginGroups>
I found the solution here: http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2.2/
