Adjust Tomcat Version
In case you need to adjust the version of the embedded tomcat to run you can do so by changing the runtime-dependencies:
<project> [...] <properties> <tomcat.version>6.0.29</tomcat.version> [...] </properties> [...] <build> <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat6-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0-beta-1</version> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>catalina</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>catalina-ha</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>tribes</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>el-api</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>jasper</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>jasper-el</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>jasper-jdt</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>coyote</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>dbcp</artifactId> <version>${tomcat.version}</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> [...] </plugins> </pluginManagement> [...] </build> [...] </project>
