Searching and selecting a goal
Once the goal is selected, click Apply to save this configuration (for future use) and
then click Run to execute this goal and install the

file on the Tomcat server.
Setting up and using the Maven plug-in for Tomcat is a complex task. Moreover, you
may have reservations about using an alpha version of the plug-in. Also, you may not like
the idea of changing the Tomcat manager user password and setting it to be blank. This
plug-in has been around for some time now and has worked despite its alpha status. It is
especially useful if you do not use continuous integration and in staging environments
where you do not have access to Eclipse and need to execute all Maven goals from the
command line.
