+# java-tomcat-maven-example
+
+This is an example ready-to-deploy java web application built for Tomcat using Maven and webapp-runner.
+
+## Running Locally
+
+(need maven and java installed)
+
+```
+mvn package
+java -jar target/dependency/webapp-runner.jar target/*.war
+```
+
+The application will be available on `http://localhost:8080`.
+
+## How This Was Built
+
+1. Generate the project using a Maven archetype:
+
+   ```
+   mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
+   ```
+
+2. Add the webapp-runner plugin into the `pom.xml`:
+
+   ```
+   <build>
+     <!-- ... -->
+     <plugins>
+       <!-- ... -->
+       <plugin>
+         <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
+         <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
+         <version>2.3</version>
+         <executions>

+             <phase>package</phase>
