Generally speaking, it's as simple as cloning the repository and running "mvn tomcat:run" from within the cloned directory. This will start an instance of Tomcat with the app deployed, so you don't need to copy the war file. Have you tried these steps from the readme?

One command to do rule them all :-)

Thanks for the help man, i did read the Readme but i didnt expect it to be so simple. its working now i will play around with it all week now.

one thing if you are interested, i had the problem

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
cannot be cast to javax.servlet.Servlet

which i think it was because the pom was loading too many servlet api classes.

i added the following line

provided
to the tomcat-servlet-api artifact which corrected the problem.

Many thanks again

Actually I see issues #12 and #13 are both regarding the problem you are/were having. Seems it wasn't quite so simple after all. :)
