             Summary: Allow running deploy-only and redeploy-only goals without pom file
                 Key: MTOMCAT-280
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT-280
             Project: Apache Tomcat Maven Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tomcat7
            Reporter: Lauri Lehtinen
            Assignee: Olivier Lamy (*$^¨%`£)


Use case is as follows:

0. A 2-step CI build exists for the sole purpose of deploying any artifact to a remote tomcat server
1. Run mvn dependency:get -D... -D... to download a war file from Nexus.
2. Run mvn tomcat7:deploy -D... -D... to deploy the war file.

I would prefer to not involve a pom file in this. However, if the plugin doesn't find one, it fail.s

Also, it appears that all the properties I need, except warFile, can be overriden with -D's. The only way I'm able to make this work is create a dummy pom file with tomcat7 plugin defined in the build section, and a <warFile>${warFile}</warFile> in its configuration section.
