Tomcat binary distribution zip as maven artifact

Tags:

tomcat

Is there a publicly available maven repository that hosts the Apache Tomcat binary distribution ZIPs as maven artifacts (I mean the file that can be downloaded via http://tomcat.apache.org, e.g. http://mirror.serversupportforum.de/apache/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.28/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.28.zip)?

Currently I download these distribution zips manually and put them into my Nexus repo, but I'd find it more elegant if there was such a repo that I just could add to my POMs. Does anybody else need the Tomcat distribution ZIPs within their maven build, how do you cope with this issue?
