But we still need the war to package it in the standalone artifact.
And all the logic to create a war is in the maven war plugin. And
frankly I don't want to copy/paste all this logic to clone it in the
tomcat plugin (doesn't make sense IMHO)
Maybe what you can try is to use pom packaging (instead of the one you
are probably currently using war packaging) and then use the war
plugin to package the war which need to be included in the standalone.
As it the generated war won't be an attached artifact and won't be deploy.
NOTE: It's a solution I didn't test :-)
