Tomcat configuration using embedded ActiveMQ JMS - eclipse

Question

I have Tomcat 7.0.42 and ActiveMQ 5.10 and have added the following resources to my context.xml file:
<Resource
auth="Container"
brokerName="MyActiveMQBrokerXML"
description="JMS Connection Factory"
factory="org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory"
name="jms/ConnectionFactory"
type="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory"
useEmbeddedBroker="true"
brokerURL="vm://localhost?brokerConfig=xbean:activemq.xml"
/>
When starting Tomcat via is built-in startup script I get the following in the console out-put.
2015-01-27 09:49:24,064 [localhost-startStop-1] INFO org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.plist.PListStoreImpl- PListStore:[C:\tomcat\apache-tomcat-7.0.57\bin\acti vemq-data\MyActiveMQBroker\tmp_storage] started

It appears to me that tomcat is not looking for the activemq.xml file or is at least not using it. This exact configuration works if I start tomcat through eclipse, but that is not a viable option for a production system.

I found that if deploying into production you have to use the absolute path to the file to get Tomcat to find the activemq.xml file. Although using the relative path is supposed to work, I could never get it to.
brokerURL="vm://localhost?brokerConfig=xbean:activemq.xml"
Supposedly only works if you've added to 'activemq.xml' to the class path. Note the presence of 'file' in 'xbean:file:/some/path/activemq.xml'.
<Resource id="MyJmsResourceAdapter" type="ActiveMQResourceAdapter">
BrokerXmlConfig = xbean:file:/usr/share/apache-tomee-plus-8.0.0-M1/conf/activemq.xml
ServerUrl = tcp://localhost:61616
</Resource>
