If I may provide a suggestion, trying to keep a GeoServer plugin out of the
code base is a uphill battle, you never know when it's going to break.
If instead you make it into a community module first, add tests and provide
some little docs, then you can push it to extension status, which
makes it go into the normal Hudson build, if anything breaks the person
that broke is often going to have a look and fix right away.

GeoServer also provides you with extensive support for in-build integration
tests, without the need to actually start a GeoServer, but staring
the application context and giving you an enviroment where you can run
actual requests, see for example this module, an extension
that makes WFS test to ensure the integration between the querylayer module
and wfs works as expected:

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/extension/querylayer/src/test/java/org/geoserver/filter/function/WFSFilteringTest.java

Getting a community module is easy, just ask, graduating is a little
harder, you need to add some docs, enough unit tests,
plead to maintain the module, and show there is some usage. And oh, sign a
contributor agreement, too.
