Answer 1

I was able to get it working with:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <path>/mycontext</path>
        <port>9090</port>
        <httpsPort>8443</httpsPort>
        <keystorePass>changeit</keystorePass>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Be sure you create the keystore from the documentation: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html (it looks like you have that part) and what finally worked for me was to create the keystore (in the default directory) with both passwords as "changeit"... not sure why, but for me this is ok in this case as this is for local development only.

I am running on Windows 7, Maven 3.

Hope this helps.

With this configuration in my pom.xml I get it working:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <path>/${project.build.finalName}</path>
        <contextFile>${basedir}/context.xml</contextFile>
        <httpsPort>8443</httpsPort>
        <keystoreFile>${basedir}/certificates/keystore.jks</keystoreFile>
        <keystorePass>password</keystorePass>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
