Maven webapp on Eclipse with Tomcat

I finally did it !!!!!!!!!!!!

I manage to configure a Maven webapp to run on a Tomcat Server to test the JSPs on Eclipse.

.: To Complete :.

1. Create a library for Tomcat JARs
Window > Preferences > Java > Build Path > User Libraries

2. Add this library to classpath with maven-eclipse-plugin
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
<configuration>
<classpathContainers>
<classpathContainer>org.eclipse.jdt.USER_LIBRARY/Tomcat-6.0.20</classpathContainer>
</classpathContainers>
…

</plugin>
