furthermore changed settings.xml file in path ~/.m2/settings.xml.

settings.xml

  <servers>       <server>         <id>apache_tomcat_7_x86</id>         <username>admin</username>         <password>admin</password>       </server>   </servers> 

meanwhile resolved it. there few issues.

firstly set goal in eclipse run configuration tomcat:deploy.

and changed pom.xml following

<plugin>   <groupid>org.codehaus.mojo</groupid>   <artifactid>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactid>   <configuration>     <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>     <server>apache_tomcat_7_x86</server>     <path>/helloworld</path>   </configuration> </plugin> 

url in configuration depends on tomcat version. me works text, others works html on end of url. , of course, in tomcat-users.xml must set role manager-script or manager-gui.

maybe helps others.
