title: How do I package my web app and tomcat together using maven?
body: <p>I would like to distribute my application packaged as WAR embedded in Apache Tomcat. That is I want to distribute Tomcat along with my application. </p>
  
  <p>How can this sort of distribution packaging can be done with Maven? </p>
  
  <p>I have seen the <a href="http://cargo.codehaus.org/Maven2+plugin" rel="noreferrer">Maven Cargo Plugin</a>, but it appears to be geared towards deploying applications in containers locally. Perhaps an additional step over Cargo plugin is what I need. <code>cargo:package</code> appears to be interesting but lacks documentation.</p>
