Jboss-Maven-Plugin can't start?

Question

I am using Jboss-Maven-Plugin version 1.4. I am looking at an example using the JBoss Maven plugin , and I am pom.xml

<plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>jboss-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.4</version> <configuration> <jbossHome>E:\JavaWorkingTools\JBoss\jboss-5.1.0.GA</jbossHome> <serverName>default</serverName> <hostName>localhost</hostName> <port>8080</port> <fileName>${project.build.directory}/${{project.build.finalName}.war</fileName> </configuration> </plugin> 

When I enter the message jboss: start console is INfo! But does terminate not work?

Announcement:

 [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building SSH2Maven JEE5 Webapp 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] [INFO] --- jboss-maven-plugin:1.4:start (default-cli) @ SSH2Maven --- [INFO] Starting JBoss...

Why? Can this version be used only in 4.x below?

Answer 1

Well, first of all, the plugin is not really intended for JBoss AS 5, and while some functions will work (start, stop, and hard deployment), some deployment functions may not work.

Secondly, the jboss:start target does not “block”, it will launch JBoss in the background as an independent process.

Here is what I get after some time when starting jboss:start with JBoss 5 (and a plugin configuration similar to yours):

  $ mvn jboss: start

JBoss is running as expected.

Update: Here is the configuration I used (quick and dirty, for testing purposes):

  <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>jboss-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.4.1</version> <configuration> <jbossHome>/home/pascal/opt/jboss-5.1.0.GA</jbossHome> <serverName>default</serverName> <fileName>target/my-project.war</fileName> </configuration> </plugin>
