Unlike the documentation i linked above i only have a single .pom file, so i merged the parts from the docu together. My pom now looks like this:

Additional info: Im using Eclipse Kepler, my Run Configuration looks like this:
tomcat7:exec-war -e
I also tried with the commando line, tried :exec-war-only but nothing worked.
I searched and tried different things for days now, so any help is much appreciated! : ]

I received this error with spring boot application. I had to spend quite sometime so putting it here that below plugin needs to be included
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
Also packaging type should be jar
<packaging>jar</packaging>
Start-class should be defined as your main class
<start-class>com.edu.schoolT.SchoolWeb</start-class>
main class or class annotated with @SpringBootApplication should extend SpringBootServletInitializer. For further info... Create a deployable war file

The NPE is because the plugin does not find the packaged war file, I fixed that error by explicitly adding the package phase to the build, so for example:
mvn clean package tomcat7:exec-war
any phase that produce the war package fits well for avoiding the NPE: package, install, deploy, etc.
So, in your case, where you use a Run Configuration in Eclipse, just add package before tomcat7:exec-war -e

There is a version 2.3 now where the problem from 2.2 has been fixed!
(had some problems with 2.1 because it is so old)
Sadly its only a snapshot version and needs to be fetched from Apache Snapshots Repository. To get it you need to put this into your pom:
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>apache.snapshots</id>
<name>Apache Snapshots</name>
<url>http://repository.apache.org/snapshots</url>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
Then you can use the new version <version>2.3-SNAPSHOT</version>

I have a similar issue with version 2.2 of the plugin, but I got it run with 2.1 according to this tutorial.
