Eclipse安装好m2e插件，使用Maven构建项目后，启动web项目就行就非常简单了，你不再需要下载然后在eclipse中配置tomcat。
pom.xml的project节点中的build节点如下：
<build>
<finalName>basic</finalName>
<outputDirectory>D:\webapps</outputDirectory>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.2</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12</version>
<configuration>
<skipTests>false</skipTests>
<includes>
<include>**/*Test.java</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/Test*.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat6-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-1</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
