Maven Tomcat 7 plugin - changing war name

[Will Glass-Husain]

Hi,

I'm struggling to get the tomcat7 plugin to work.  I want to change the
name of the war file.  When I call

mvn tomcat7:deploy-only

It looks for war file   XXX-YYY.war, where XXX is the artifactId and YYY is
the version name.

I'd rather use a different, simpler WAR file name "myapp".  It's used
elsewhere in the site.  But neither of these two things changes the war
name that the plugin is looking for.

<properties>
    <project.build.finalName>simulate</project.build.finalName>
</properties>

...

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
  <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <configuration>
    <warName>myapp.war</warName>
    <path>/myapp</path>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Any suggestions?  Or is this just not yet implemented.

WILL
