Answer 1

It seems, that you've applied the wrong plugin at the moment. Just change:
apply plugin: 'com.bmuschko.cargo-base'
to
apply plugin: 'com.bmuschko.cargo'
Because, when you apply the com.bmuschko.cargo-base plugin, you have to configure each task individually, according to the plugin description.
And one more, there is no property output, which could be defined within the local closure, but there is an outputFile property, so, your local closure should look like:
local {
homeDir = file('C:/mdi/soft/apache-tomcat-7.0.67')
outputFile = file('C:/mdi/soft/apache-tomcat-7.0.67/output.log')
}
