Tomcat managed should not require an installed tomcat server
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ARQ-574
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-574
             Project: Arquillian
          Issue Type: Enhancement
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Tomcat Containers
            Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet


When starting up tomcat6-managed, the first SNAPSHOT, I get this:
{code}
Either CATALINA_HOME environment variable or catalinaHome property in Arquillian configuration must be set and point to a valid directory! null is not valid directory!
{code}

There are 2 problems with this:
- it's a maintenance hurdle, especially on hudson build slaves
- the build is not reproducible: the test results depends on the tomcat server version you've installed on your machine.

Solution:
Set the tomcat zip as a dependency (so it's in ~/.m2/repository) and unzip it to target and use that server installation.
