Right now when I start the broker via the Maven plugin, it creates the "activemq-data" directory in the directory from which I'm executing Maven (the source directory) . Given that I'm using the plugin for integration-tests, I'd like to place activemq-data in the target directory so that it is deleted automatically when I execute the "clean" target.
After digging around, I found in org.apache.activemq.util.IOHelper that there is a system property (org.apache.activemq.default.directory.prefix) that controls the placement of this directory. It seems like it might be sensible for the maven plugin to use the already defined "outputDirectory" configuration setting (which defaults to target). Does this make sense? I don't know if keeping the activemq-data directory around adds value when using the maven plugin. With the above mod, it will remain until you do a "clean". I'll create a patch. Thanks, Tim
