Please Mark calm down.
Being possible to deploy to Nexus does not mean that the project is
configured to do that. To enable this, you need to configure the needed POM
metadata (SCM, website) and let the master POM of Tomcat be child of the
Apache Master pom.
Even if you have done this steps, if you are not using the Maven release
plugin, it does not work. AFAICT you should be able to (temporarily, for
good) deploy to people.a.o.

P.S. Your project is a mess to be a Maven project. If you *really* want to
move to Maven you need to do a major reconstruction of the directory
structure.
