Meanwhile I resolved it. There were a few issues.

Firstly I set Goal in the Eclipse run configuration to tomcat:deploy.

And I changed pom.xml following

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
    <server>Apache_Tomcat_7_x86</server>
    <path>/HelloWorld</path>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

URL in configuration depends on Tomcat version. For me works text, for others works html on end of URL. And of course, in tomcat-users.xml must be set role manager-script or manager-gui.

Maybe it helps to others.
