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,
