Hi Owen,
I took some time this afternoon to test the plugin and, as expected, it's very
interesting and works well.
I created a simple Maven project and configured the 'maven-failsafe-plugin'
plugin to run a simple test which tries to connect to the directory server
created by your plugin.
At the moment, the configuration options are only covering a small set of
Apache DS' configuration, but it's definitely a good starting point.
I really think this Maven plugin adds some value to ApacheDS when it's used
during integration.
Great work!
Thanks,
Pierre-Arnaud
