In the War plugin configuration, you will need to give the plugin an output directory. ex:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3</version>
    <configuration>
        <warName>[the name you want for your war file]</warName>
        <outputDirectory>[the output directory you want the war in]       </outputDirectory>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Just replace the brackets and text with what you want
