Tomcat 7 - Maven Plugin?

Question

I just wanted to double-check, has anyone found or is working on a Tomcat 7 plugin? If not, is anyone interested in helping me get it up and running?

I want another quick alternative to Glassfish, JBoss AS 6.0 is a bit heavy still for quick mockups.

It work for me as the following.

My setting.xml

 <server>  
   <id>local_tomcat</id>  
   <username>ray</username>  
   <password>password</password>  
 </server>  

My plugin configuration

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

My tomcat-users.xml

 <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
    <role rolename="manager-script"/>
  <user password="password" roles="manager-gui, manager-script" username="ray"/>
