Detailed tutorial on using the tomcat8-maven-plugin plugin in Maven

I searched a lot of articles online but didn't find a solution. I only found the plugin for tomcat7-maven-plugin, as follows:

<plugin>
 <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
 <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>2.2</version>
</plugin>

The tomcat8-maven-plugin plugin was not found. There is no such plugin in Maven's central repository:

https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/tomcat/maven/

Found a repository in mvnrepository

When adding the above dependency to POM.XML, it either prompts that the dependency cannot be found, or it cannot be downloaded. After searching for a long time, I found a solution, which is to use <pluginRepositories> in Maven. <pluginRepositories> is used to configure the plugin address. Because all functions of Maven are implemented using plugins, the plugin package needs to be downloaded from a specific address.

Add the following to POM.XML

 <pluginRepositories>  
	 <pluginRepository>  
		<id>alfresco-public</id>  
		<url>https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public</url>  
	 </pluginRepository>  
	 <pluginRepository>  
		<id>alfresco-public-snapshots</id>  
		<url>https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public-snapshots</url>  
		<snapshots>  
		 <enabled>true</enabled>  
		 <updatePolicy>daily</updatePolicy>  
		</snapshots>  
	 </pluginRepository>  
	 <pluginRepository>  
		<id>beardedgeeks-releases</id>  
		<url>http://beardedgeeks.googlecode.com/svn/repository/releases</url>  
	 </pluginRepository>  
 </pluginRepositories>

Add tomcat8-maven-plugin dependency

 <plugin>
     <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
     <artifactId>tomcat8-maven-plugin</artifactId>
     <version>3.0-r1655215</version>
    </plugin>

Then you can use the tomcat8-maven-plugin plug-in.

Then I found several repositories with this plugin on the Internet:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.tomcat.maven/tomcat8-maven-plugin/3.0-r1655215

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/maven-plugin/branches/tc8.x/

https://github.com/apache/tomcat-maven-plugin
