Cargo use installed container (Local "C:\tomcat) instead of AppData/Local/Temp - gradle

Question

I want to use local tomcat container which is already installed in c:\tomcat instead of cargo downloading container automatically in temp folder. Please help me here. What am i doing wrong?
Here is my build.gradle so far
group = "com.biw.hc"
version = "0.1.0_SNAPSHOT"
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = "1.2.3.RELEASE"
tomcatVersion = "8.0.20"

}
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" }

cargo {

deployable {
file = file('build/libs/hcadmin.war')
context = 'hcadmin'
}
local {
homeDir = file('C:\\apache-tomcat-8.0.21')
outputFile = file('build/output.log')
containerProperties {
property 'cargo.tomcat.webappsDirectory', 'build/libs'
}
}
}

I came up with a solution like this instead of using cargo plugin
build.mustRunAfter clean
task deploy(dependsOn: ['clean', 'build', 'deployWar']) << {
println '*********************'
println 'hcadmin.war installed'
println '*********************'
}
task deployWar(type: Copy) {
from war
into System.env.'TOMCAT_HOME' + "\\webapps"
}
