Tomcat Runner
I've been working on a small project and I want to see what you guys think
of it. It's a jar file that uses the embedded API and allows you to launch
a war based webapp into Tomcat with a simple `java -jar tomcat-runner.jar
myApp.war`. I took inspiration from Jetty's Jetty-Runner (
http://blogs.webtide.com/janb/entry/jetty_runner) and wanted to have that
ease of use with Tomcat.
You can check out the code and usage here:
https://github.com/jsimone/tomcat-runner
The command line options are limited now, but my idea is that they'd be
expanded to cover most, if not all, of what the embedded API offers.

The first thing you need to do is fix the name so it conforms to the
trademark policy. [1]

Sorry about that. I didn't realize that my name wasn't allowed. I've
renamed it and it's now available here:
https://github.com/jsimone/webapp-runner
Thanks for pointing out that feature in the maven plugin. I like that
approach a lot and I'm excited to see it released. However it fits a little
bit of a different use case. I think that something like webapp-runner is
cool because it can be used to run either an archived or exploded war file
regardless of what the chosen build system is. This opens it up not only to
other build tools, but also to running apps that get generated from
frameworks like Grails and Play! or even to war files that are exported
from tools like Eclipse. Could be that I'm the only one that finds this
useful, though. I'd love to hear feedback and know if anyone else does.
