Hi Ashley,
(Not sure if this should be on the mojo users mailing list?)
Are you running the svn head of maven-tomcat-plugin? I've recently
submitted a few patches that should fix that NPE. Note that there is
also a final patch (#7) in MOJO-23 that's waiting to be applied which
fixes the misnamed redeploy goal.
I don't tend to explicity bind the tomcat:deploy to the lifecycle,
since it's annotations already specify the package phase as a
pre-requisite. So try changing your plugin config to just:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-tomcat-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</plugin>
Then a m2 tomcat:deploy will run the lifecycle to the package phase
(i.e. create your war) and then deploy it to tomcat.
Let me know if you have any problems.
