I'm currently trying to autodeploy my webapp to tomcat at the end of
my m2 install, and as far as I can tell there are two ways of doing
this:
1. Use the maven tomcat plugin beta. I tried this and had a devil of
a time trying to get it to work - not familiar with it, immature code
etc
2. Use the tomcat ant task. I believe there has been talk here about
the maven ant plugin which would enable me to just call the more
mature ant task that I already know.
So I suppose the question is more general: why would I ever use
custom maven plugins when I can just call the familiar ant equivalent
from within Maven? I'm believe I understand the benefits of the
transitive library dependencies and the built in build lifecycle but
I don't have a clear idea in my mind when it comes to how best to use
and write plugins.
Thanks
