Hi, For SLING-9499 [1] I am looking into launching a feature model application as part of a Maven build, for integration testing.
I have looked into what the current Maven tooling offers and found: - slingfeature-maven-plugin:launch-features, that launches a single application, in-process, blocking, based on one or more feature files - sling-kickstart-maven-plugin:start, that launches one or more kickstart jars, out-of-process, non-blocking What I am looking for is something in the middle: launch a single application, based on feature files, out-of-process, non-blocking. I guess adding multiple applications won't be that hard. I think that we can enhance the Maven tooling to better support starting and stopping 'pure' feature model applications. This will be useful for people developing on top of the feature model but not with Sling. Then we can rebase the kickstart tooling to take advantage of the new enhancements. Thoughts? Thanks, Robert [1]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-9499
