tomcat maven plugin, how to fork during integration test

[cj91]

I'm trying to use the maven tomcat plugin to start an embedded instance so I can run integration tests against the application. I would like to fork an embedded tomcat instance and deploy the war to it, then later shut it down after the integration test phase is complete. Currently, I reach the pre-integration-phase, maven executes the run command for the tomcat plugin, but will not fork, causing my build to freeze with tomcat running happily. How can I fix this so I can run it in the background?

Here is my plugin configuration:

                <plugins>
                        <plugin>
                                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                                <artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                                <executions>
                                        <execution>
                                                <id>start-tomcat</id>
                                                <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
                                                <goals>
                                                        <goal>run</goal>
                                                        <goal>deploy</goal>
                                                </goals>
                                        </execution>
                                        <execution>
                                                <id>stop-tomcat</id>
                                                <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
                                                <goals>
                                                        <goal>undeploy</goal>
                                                </goals>
                                        </execution>
                                </executions>
                                <configuration>
                                        <path>/${artifactId}</path>
                                        <fork>true</fork>
                                </configuration>
                        </plugin>

Thank you,

Hi,
It's not possible currently to run the tomcat in a fork way.

Can you load an issue here : http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MTOMCAT

Did this ever get resolved? I am trying to do something similar.
