It should be noted that the mavenSW tomcatSW plugin does have a tomcat:redeploy goal, which I tried to use via "mvn clean package tomcat:redeploy". However, my project did not seem to get updated on Tomcat when I tried this. I had much better luck with "mvn clean tomcat:undeploy tomcat:deploy".

I created an EclipseSW External Tool Configuration so that I could click on a project and execute the maven goal by selecting the external tool configuration.

Name:mvn clean tomcat~undeploy tomcat~deploy
Location:C:\dev\apache-maven-2.0.8\bin\mvn.bat
Working Directory:${project_loc}
Arguments:clean tomcat:undeploy tomcat:deploy

The external tool configuration is shown below.

The pom.xml tomcat-maven-plugin reference is shown here:

pom.xml tomcat-maven-plugin reference

				</configuration>
			</plugin>
