Apache Tomcat Maven plugin war not found

I'm following the documentation here but I end up with a jar that doesn't find the war to execute. Here's the error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\ortizj\Documents\NetBeansProjects\valida
tion-manager\Validation-Manager-Web\target\.extract\webapps\ROOT.war (The system
 cannot find the file specified)

For some reason the war file is not added to the jar so it fails when it's extracting it.

ROOT.war exists and is present in the target folder.

Here's the relevant POM contents:

POM Project:

As a alternative for tomcat, You can use jetty as server. Therefore POM should be added flowing plugins.

<pluginManagement>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.5</version>
            <configuration>
                <source>1.8</source>
                <target>1.8</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.4</version>
            <configuration>
                <warSourceDirectory>src/main/webapp</warSourceDirectory>
                <warName>myapp</warName>
                <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
            <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>9.4.5.v20170502</version>
            <configuration>
                <scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds>
                <webApp>
                    <contextPath>/myapp</contextPath>
                </webApp>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</pluginManagement>

You can run it as following.

mvn clean install
mvn jetty:run

You app will be start on default port 8080 under given context (In this "myapp").

How about adding this to your pom.xml file..

                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                        <version>${maven-war-plugin.version}</version>
                        <configuration>
                            <warSourceDirectory>src/main/webapp</warSourceDirectory>
                            <warName>your-war-name</warName>
                            <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
                            <outputDirectory>${deploy-path}</outputDirectory>
                        </configuration>
                    </plugin>

You are missing the decency on your war. Therefore it is not included:

<warRunDependencies>
  <warRunDependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>a groupId</groupId>
      <artifactId>and artifactId</artifactId>
      <version>version</version>
      <type>war</type>
    </dependency>
    <contextPath>/</contextPath>
  </warRunDependency>
</warRunDependencies>
