Help with updating the Maven Tomcat Plugin

[Petar Tahchiev <pa...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to work on

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT-234

Unfortunately the only thing that is left is this: the tomcat-maven-plugin
uses
ExternalRepositoriesReloadableWebappLoader to load additional repositories
in the
classloader.

ExternalRepositoriesReloadableWebappLoader extends WebappLoader

and WebappLoader implements Loader.

And before tomcat8 the org.apache.catalina.Loader interface had these 2
methods:

    public void addRepository(String repository);
    public String[] findRepositories();


so the ExternalRepositoriesReloadableWebappLoader could call
super.addRepository() and manually add repository.

But I can see in the svn log that since version 1401503 these 2 methods are
removed (not deperecated, but simply removed). And I can't seem to find any
possible way to add repository to the loader!
Can you please guide me what should be the correct way to overcome this.

Thanks.
