Upgrade to Tomcat 6.
Sakai 2.6 will not be using Tomcat 6.
Browsing the source for the plugin suggests this is not correct - the correct mvn argument to specify the container is -Dsakai.app.server=tomcat6
In case anyone comes to this issue looking for this info, sakai-dev posting by Ian indicates
"Yes, The maven plugin currently support tomcat6 and I think that you can do -Dserver=tomcat6 to deploy with a tomcat 6 layout."
Unless there is a really strong reason for doing so (the portal is not one) I am not intending to do this until 2.6
Chuck ( or someone else?) expressed that Pluto would like to see Sakai 2.5 work with Tomcat 6.
