The following way works for me.

  1. Please change your pom.xml to include

    <project> ... <build> <plugins> .... <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1</version> <configuration> <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url> <server>my-tomcat</server> <path>/myapp</path> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> ... </build> ... </project>

  2. Make sure your Tomcat 7 server have the following lines on TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml:

    <!-- Role to manage WAR files via HTML /manager. The name should be as is! --> <role rolename="manager-gui"/> <!-- Role to manage WAR files via script like Maven. The name should be as is! --> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <!-- One user cannot have manager-gui and manager-script roles --> <user username="managerGui" password="managerPwd" roles="manager-gui"/> <user username="manager" password="managerPwd" roles="manager-script"/>

  3. Configure your USER_HOME/.m2/settings.xml to include the password.

    <settings> ... <servers> ... <server> <id>my-tomcat</id> <username>manager</username> <password>managerPwd</password> </server> </servers> </settings>

  4. Deploy using mvn tomcat7:redeploy

Thank you for a comprehensive and deterministic answer (which should be the accepted answer).
@sancho21 running mvn tomcat7:redeploy on Mac OS X Yosemite gives an error with version 2.0 of the plugin. Version 2.2 works just fine with tomcat7:redeploy.
I have Tomcat 8 server and mvn tomcat7:redeploy still works!

First you must be aware of the move of the tomcat-maven-plugin to the apache software foundation Second you shouldn't put configuration stuff into maven/conf/settings.xml you should use the users settings.xml file HOME/.m2/settings.xml instead.

Apart from the above you should use the following URL for accessing Tomcat:

http://localhost:8080/manager/html

I had a problem because I had not add /html at the end of http://localhost:8080/manager.
Did not work for me (same configuration). This is not a deterministic solution.

In my case solution worked. I did one petty mistake of not starting Apache Tomcat Server.

Apart from this, make user that you do appropriate entry in maven/conf/setting.xml within tag:-

<server> <id>TomcatServer</id> <username>admin</username> <password>password</password> </server>

In Apache Tomcat 7 tomcat-users.xml, following line should be added within 

<tomcat-users> <role rolename="manager-gui"/> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <role rolename="manager-jmx"/> <role rolename="manager-status"/> <role rolename="admin-gui"/> <role rolename="admin-script"/> <user username="admin" password="password" roles="standard,manager,admin,manager-gui,manager-script,tomcat" />

In Pom.xml

 <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2</version> <configuration> <url>http://localhost:8888/manager/text</url> <server>TomcatServer</server> <path>$ReplaceWithWarFileName$</path> <update>true</update> <username>admin</username> <password>password</password> </configuration> </plugin>
