Note the plugin is now maintained at Apache (so upgrade a bit :-) ) see http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2.0/.

Even it works using install I'm not sure it's the optimum solution (regarding io and build time).

The tomcat run must be able to use resources from more than one directory (I'm not sure it's possible with the current tomcat embeded api).

Can you add a feature request here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT
