you can execute two ways.

1) in eclipse. Right click on project , click on run as --> maven build , give goals as "clean install" will generate war in target folder of your project

2) using command prompt, navigate to directory where pom.xml present and execute below commands

mvn clean install package

it will generate war in target folder
