provided dep + tomcat:deploy + performRelease = "package XXX does not exist"

[Alexandre Gomes]

I'm not sure if I found a bug in tomcat-maven-plugin or if it's an expected
behaviour [1].

1) Create a project with a "provided" scoped dependency [2]
2) Try to execute tomcat:deploy with -DperformRelease=true [3]
3) During the javadoc:jar phase, a warning is raised [4]

<dependency>
       <groupId>xstream</groupId>
       <artifactId>xstream</artifactId>
       <version>1.0.1</version>
       <scope>provided</scope>
       <type>jar</type>
</dependency>

[3]

mvn tomcat:deploy
-Dmaven.tomcat.url=http://192.168.1.40:8080/manager-DperformRelease=true
