Thanks for replying Adrien. I didn't know about that mojo, so will surely check it out. However, my problem will be solved the fastest if I can find a way to pass the port as a -D parameter to achieve the deadline as the remaining things are in place. I can use the suggested mojo as an enhancement in a subsequent iteration. Any immediate solutions? On 12 Aug 2013 14:57, "Adrien Rivard [via Maven]" < [email protected]> wrote:
