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
