Hi Henry. I will update the site tonight. Last night I had some problems with the internet connection. Meanwhile you can use this URL if you want to get the latest Tomcat5 release:
http://apache.speedbone.de/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.27/bin/apache-tomcat-5.5.27.zip We also provide an example using the Jetty embedded container. But the fact is that you will, eventually need a container (Tomcat, JBoss...) and normally it is installed already in some place. You can point to that place by setting the [home] parameter in the cargo-maven2-plugin. Since different people need to set different [home] parameters and some people might not even have a container installed, I thought that it would be much more simpler if the container is pulled from the internet. You can also avoid this if you want with the [home] parameter I just told you about.
