Yes you can   In your pom xml  add the tomcat plugin   You can use this for both Tomcat 7 and 8    pom xml   lt  -- Tomcat plugin -- gt     lt plugin gt      lt groupId gt org apache tomcat maven lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt tomcat7-maven-plugin lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 2 2 lt  version gt      lt configuration gt       lt url gt http    localhost 8080 manager text lt  url gt       lt server gt TomcatServer lt  server gt       From maven  gt  settings xml      lt username gt  yourtomcatusername  lt  username gt       lt password gt  yourtomcatpassword  lt  password gt       lt  configuration gt      lt  plugin gt       tomcat-users xml   lt tomcat-users gt       lt role rolename  manager-gui   gt             lt role rolename  manager-script   gt              lt user username  admin  password  password  roles  manager-gui manager-script    gt     lt  tomcat-users gt    settings xml  maven   conf    lt servers gt         lt server gt          lt id gt TomcatServer lt  id gt          lt username gt admin lt  username gt          lt password gt password lt  password gt       lt  server gt   lt  servers gt        deploy re-deploy  mvn tomcat7 deploy OR mvn tomcat7 redeploy  Tried this on  Both Ubuntu and Windows 8 10     Jdk 7  amp  Tomcat 7   Jdk 7  amp  Tomcat 8   Jdk 8  amp  Tomcat 7   Jdk 8  amp  Tomcat 8   Jdk 8  amp  Tomcat 9    Tested on Both Jdk 7 8  amp  Tomcat 7 8   Works with Tomcat 8 5 and 9   Note  Tomcat manager should be running or properly setup  before you can use it with maven   Good Luck

Since November 2017  one can use tomcat8-maven-plugin    lt  -- https   mvnrepository com artifact org apache tomcat maven tomcat8-maven-plugin -- gt   lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt org apache tomcat maven lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt tomcat8-maven-plugin lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 2 2 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    Note that this plugin resides in ICM repo  not in Maven Central   hence you should add the repo to your pluginsRepositories in your pom xml    lt pluginRepositories gt       lt pluginRepository gt           lt id gt icm lt  id gt           lt name gt Spring Framework Milestone Repository lt  name gt           lt url gt http   maven icm edu pl artifactory repo lt  url gt       lt  pluginRepository gt   lt  pluginRepositories gt

groupId and Mojo name change Since version 2 0-beta-1 tomcat mojos has been renamed to tomcat6 and tomcat7 with the same goals   You must configure your pom to use this new groupId    lt pluginManagement gt     lt plugins gt       lt plugin gt         lt groupId gt org apache tomcat maven lt  groupId gt         lt artifactId gt tomcat6-maven-plugin lt  artifactId gt         lt version gt 2 3-SNAPSHOT lt  version gt       lt  plugin gt       lt plugin gt         lt groupId gt org apache tomcat maven lt  groupId gt         lt artifactId gt tomcat7-maven-plugin lt  artifactId gt         lt version gt 2 3-SNAPSHOT lt  version gt       lt  plugin gt     lt  plugins gt   lt  pluginManagement gt    Or add the groupId in your settings xml                org apache tomcat maven

An other solution  if possible  would be to use TomEE instead of Tomcat  which has a working maven plugin    lt plugin gt       lt groupId gt org apache tomee maven lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt tomee-maven-plugin lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 7 1 1 lt  version gt   lt  plugin gt    Version 7 1 1 wraps a Tomcat 8 5 41

Almost 2 years later     This github project readme has a some clarity of configuration of the maven plugin and it seems  according to this apache github project  the plugin itself will materialise soon enough
