Perhaps, instead of using the maven tomcat plugin, you can ignore that. Just set the package type in maven to WAR, and then do a "mvn package". then copy the resulting war file from your <project root>/target directory to your <tomcat root>/webapp directory. and then manually start tomcat.
That plugin shouldn't be a big blocker to the examples I think he wrote it there to make the entire thing as compact as possible. I've found the example to be relatively helpful. Is there anything you specifically need help with?
