How to specify an instance of Tomcat to 'mvn tomcat:run' command?

When using the Maven plugin, we can start Tomcat from command line using this:

mvn tomcat:run

If I have 2 separate installations of Tomcat on my machines, (say Tomcat 6.x and 7.x), is there a way I can specify which one to :run???

EDIT 1:

As sugested ny Cyril, I tried:

mvn tomcat6:run and mvn tomcat7:run

And I got this error:

[ERROR] No plugin found for prefix 'tomcat6' in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.apache.maven.plugins, org.codehaus.mojo] available from the repositories [local (/Users/chitteb/.m2/repository), central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)] -> [Help 1]

I found an example of how to adjust tomcat version in the Apache Tomcat Maven plugin documentation. If the plugin was configured as shown in the example, you could then specify the version on the mvn command line with -Dtomcat.version=6.0.xxx or by defining the property in a profile as mentioned by @Seshagiri.

You may need to define two different settings by using profiles and use profile name while running.

I believe it will run the one specified in CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME environment variables.
