1)  Install MAMP normally

2)  Download the latest binary of tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org/ and extract it into the MAMP folder
    (you should now have a /Applications/MAMP/apache-tomcat-version folder)

3)  Create a link to the apache-tomcat folder:
    ln -s /Applications/apache-tomcat-7.0.37/ tomcat

4)  Make sure all the binaries are executable:
    cd /Applications/tomcat/bin
    ls -1 *.sh | xargs chmod +x

5)  Modify /Applications/MAMP/bin/startApache.sh and add the following to the end:
    /Applications/MAMP/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

6)  Modify /Applications/MAMP/bin/stopApache.sh so it reads:

    # /bin/sh
    /Applications/MAMP/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
    /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl stop
    
    sleep 2
    kill -TERM ps aux | grep [t]omcat | awk '{ print $2}'
    sleep 1
    kill -9 ps aux | grep [t]omcat | awk '{ print $2}'

Done!
