Hi,
I don't know if it could answer your question but I think I do
something similar for integration testing.
First to add jar to embedded tomcat used by by the plugin, Ideclare
those Jar as dependencies for the plugin.
Then to add a different war I use the dependency plugin to unzip the
war in the current project build directory and then use the tomcat
plugin to launch it :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>

<type>war</type>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/webapp</outputDirectory>
<overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>

</execution>
</executions>

<plugin>

</configuration>
