nagl, to expand on what David is saying; for the two projects that create war files, when you build those war files your final step for each one should be an install (e.g., "mvn -Pwhatever clean verify install") and the install phase will copy the war files into your local maven repository (e.g., ~/.m2 on unix). For maven, install means copy the war, jar, whatever, into your local repository.
Then, in the tomcat deploy project, when you deploy, since you've specified the war files as dependencies, it will first pull the war files from your local maven repository, then deploy them to tomcat.
I use cargo, but I don't know how you could use it to deploy two different war files at the same time. (I'm not saying you can't, just that I don't know if it's possible.)

Oh, no, you misunderstood my intention. You don't build a war file using
the two other wars as a dependency. The only reason you make them
dependencies is to make them available to the plugin for deployment.
Your third project doesn't really have its own artifact, other than the
*.pom file.

by declaring the two war files as dependencies in the third project, after i
build the third project as a war and deploy it, I am not able to access the
first two web apps.
what i want to knw is a way to sort of merge the two wars.
now maven cargo plugin as something called uber war which does the job of
merging. but it is quite complicated and there is very little documentation
on it.

Re: How can I deploy multiple wars using the tomcat plugin in maven?
Posted by "David C. Hicks" <dh...@i-hicks.org>.
The first question is relatively straightforward. Since your wars are
created in different projects, just set up a third project that has the
artifact WAR files from the other two as dependencies. If your war files
are generated in different modules of the same project, you would
accomplish the same thing using a third module that depends on the other
two. Think of it like you would an assembly, in that case.
Looking at the Tomcat plugin, I don't see any configuration for
deploying multiple wars at the same time. Your third project could have
multiple modules - one for each deployment.
Hopefully, someone has a better answer than that. That seems a bit like
overkill.
