tomcat8-maven-plugin

[LG Optimusv]

Hi All,

I know that there's no tomcat8-maven-plugin (yet) and using tomcat8 with
tomcat7-maven-plugin like this:

<plugin>

        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</plugin>

doesn't work. The error is when mvn tomcat7:run is executed is:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.2:run (default-cli) on
project webapp: Execution default-cli of goal

org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.2:run:

Is there anyway to get around this?

Thanks.
