I figured out how to do this, and want to pass along what I learned in
case anyone else has the same question.
According to several Ant resources I read, you cannot yet do this with
Ant tags, although it is frequently requested. Luckily Maven uses
Jelly, where it is easy. You can simply do this:
<preGoal name="test:test">
<j:thread>
<attainGoal name="start_test_server"/>
</j:thread>
<sleep seconds="10"/>
</preGoal>
inside the test:test preGoal.
