How to specify the catalina container in the cmd mvn cargo:stop :
Because whene i use it, the plugin look for the container in the default folder of Tomcat :
AppData\Local\Temp\cargo\installs\apache-tomcat-8.0.20.zip
Can you please share your maven configuration?
From your description I think you need to set container home and possibly also configuration home.
Container home should reference to installation directory of your Tomcat installation. It is set by element <home> in <container> element.
If you use existing configuration then you should also set configuration home. It is set by element <home> in <configuration> element.
You may see examples in Cargo documentation
