For goals which run embeded tomcat, I don't really have choice as api
has changed between 6 and 7.
Maybe for "common" goals (deploy war, list applications etc..) has the
only change is the manager url.
Can be done in next release IMHO, I have documented the fact that some
goals exists only in tomcat6 plugin and users need only to change
manager url in their configuration.

Agree I will change that.

Last thing I want to do: add an archetype to have a sample project
generated on how to use/configure the plugin to use it with a very
simple webapp.
And finish to cleanup documentation. (do not hesitate to fix
"frenglish" typo if you see some :-) ).


Thanks!
