Are you trying to build a WAR file/directory, or are you trying to launch a Tomcat instance? Or both?
I am trying to launch a Tomcat instance by assembling the WAR from different places. The addPre/PostResources seem to allow that.
Ultimately, you will not be able to deploy a web application unless it is properly-assembled into a WAR-like structure. You can't get around that, embedded or not.
In my search I found many examples of starting tomcat without building a full WAR structure: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23143697/adding-external-resources-to-class-path-in-tomcat-8 The main problem is that the WAR project, as created in Eclipse by the Maven plugin, writes the class files to target/classes instead of webapps/WEB-INF/classes.
