Antonio, you have to solicit the developers of Tomcat not us. You also have to convince the users of Tomcat because those are the only people who should be influencing the decisions of the developers. Maven developers telling Tomcat developers to switch is something at least within Apache I have striven to avoid. The team should pick the tool they prefer, and users can drive that but developers of competing tools trying to do the convincing isn't really appropriate.
