Prerequisites

Step 1 First create Dynamic web project
As a first step we needs to have web project to create war file from it. So to create dynemic web project Go to New->Other and select dynamic web project then provide project name and select run time environment. In this post I'm using project name as SampleMavenProject and my run time environment as tomcat 7.
Then add new index.jsp file to webcontent directory in your project structure and add following content in to that.
<html>
<head>
<title>Index File Maven Project</title>
</head>
<body>
<b>Maven test project running</b>
</body>
</html>
Then we have to convert the Dynamic Web Project in to Maven Project to do that right click on project and go to Configure->Convert to Maven Project. (Figure 1)

Then next interface you can provide details regarding the war file that you are going to create such as war file name and version etc and then click Finish. (Figure 2)

After you click Finish you can see new pom.xml file is created on your project and in pom.xml you can see automatically added maven plugin details in to plugin section. (Figure 3)

Then lets create war file from the project. Click right click on Run As->Maven Build and enter clean install in Goals and click run. (Figure 4)

Then you can see similar out put in console in that you can see Build success notification and the war file generated location.(Figure 5)

We have successfully created war file from our project. If you need to deploy it to Apache Tomcat then go to the war file generated location and copy that war and past it in webapps
Apache Tomcat directory.
Then start the Apache Tomcat server and you can see your project folder will extracted in webapps folder. Then you can access you project on relevant project link.
