#42 How to perform the same execution the plugin does but with the console

[Luis Diego Hidalgo Blanco]

So this is the deal, I am using the net.sf.eclipse.tomcat.updatesite-2016-04-19 plugin (I know it's an older version but help me out) and I'm running an application that I just recently migrated to tomcat 8.5. What happens is that when I run the application with the plugin it does so perfectly but when I build the .war, put it in webapps and run the "./catalina.sh run" the app doesn't start up. I noticed that the plugin loads a lot of jars from .m2 and does many other things that somehow makes it possible for the application to actually run and that's why I need to know exactly how the plugin executes the webapps, so I can perform the same process using a command line and not eclipse directly.

Please help.
Thank you.
