[ERROR]
[ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.
I have added the plugin in pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<url>http://{my-ip}:{my-port}/manager/html</url>
<server>{server-name}</server>
<path>/{context-path}</path>
</configuration>
</plugin>
and corresponding server setting in $MAVEN_HOME/conf/settings.xml
<server>
<id>{server-name}</id>
<username>{username}</username>
<password>{password}</password>
</server>
I am having Ubuntu instance at AWS with tomcat installed at root.

Answer 1

Try this:
<url>http://{my-ip}:{my-port}/manager/text</url> instead of <url>http://{my-ip}:{my-port}/manager/html</url>

Answer 2

Try to add in pom.xml this lines:
<username>YourUserName</username>
<password>YourPassword</password>
inside configuration block, like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<url>http://{my-ip}:{my-port}/manager/html</url>
<server>{server-name}</server>
<path>/{context-path}</path>
<username>YourUserName</username>
<password>YourPassword</password>
</configuration>
</plugin>
