How to get jenkins to deploy .war file to tomcat6 not localhost - maven

Question

I have a jenkins ci that builds our projects and make a .war file of it.
But i can´t get it to deploy to jenkins, how do i do that?
My pom.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</build>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
And i added all info in settings.xml i found on the web. I can login to e-ject.se:8080/manager/html with the username and password.
<server>
<id>e-ject.se</id>
<username>jonathan</username>
<password>*****</password>
<filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
<directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
<configuration></configuration>
</server>
I get this in the jenkins console:
mavenExecutionResult exceptions not empty
message : Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.5:deploy (default-deploy) on project MavenWeb:
Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not transfer artifact MavenWeb:MavenWeb:war:0.0.1-20120412.150346-1 from/to e-ject.se
(http://e-ject.se/MavenWeb): Failed to transfer file: http://e-ject.se/MavenWeb/MavenWeb/MavenWeb/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/MavenWeb-0.0.1-20120412.150346-1.war.
Return code is: 405
If i just add tomcat:deploy in jenkins instead of deploy
i get:
mavenExecutionResult exceptions not empty
message : Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:tomcat-maven-plugin:1.1:deploy (default-cli) on project MavenWeb: Cannot invoke Tomcat manager
cause : Cannot invoke Tomcat manager
and later:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?path=%2FMavenWeb&war=
Can someone please help me get this to work, i have read a ton of guides but i cannot get it to work!

I realized i had more than one jenkins installed maven and i had previouse installations that misslead me! Sometimes its just better to just start over and do it right.
