Trant,
Look at the cargo plugin (http://cargo.codehaus.org/). It is useful for
starting/stopping J2EE containers and deploying modules to them.
With proper configuration of the plugin (<deployable>, <container> and
<configuration> elements), you just need something like this in your build
section:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>start-container</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>deploy</goal>
<goal>start</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>stop-container</id>
<phase>post-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>stop</goal>
<goal>undeploy</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
We use this everyday on our CI machine and it does pretty much what I
understand you need.
