If anyone is interested in using a Maven plugin to run Elasticsearch for integration testing, I just published one on GitHub: [https://github.com/alexcojocaru/elasticsearch-maven-plugin](https://github.com/alexcojocaru/elasticsearch-maven-plugin). It is an alternative to starting a node through the code. The readme should provide enough information, but let me know if something is missing or not clear enough. It uses ES v0.90.7, but it can be easily updated to the latest ES version by changing the dependency version in the pom.xml file. alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You are very welcome, David. I believe the project is pretty much complete, for it also contains tests which exercise the mojos. As mentioned already, it depends on an ES version which is already old. I will try to keep it up to date, but contributions of any sort are more than welcome. alex On Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 2:54 AM, David Pilato [david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr) wrote: > Hey Alex > > That's great!

Hi Good plugin . . I tried to run it but it start and then stop once pom execution is finished. How can we modify plugin to keep it running once started. My intention is to use this plugin for demo installations. so i can install Elasticsearch node and start it on any machine for my demo.

Here's my suggestion: modify StartElasticsearchNodeMojo#execute() and, right before the method returns (ie. after the ES node is started) read a System property called "waitIndefinitely". If the property is set, then wait indefinitely (see below for details), else continue the execution. You will have to provide that property when running maven, like mvn clean verify -DwaitIndefinitely, for the plugin to wait indefinitely. I hope that helps. Let me now if you need additional help. To wait indefinitely: see the waitIndefinitely() method in [http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/maven-plugin/tags/tomcat-maven-plugin-2.0/tomcat7-maven-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/tomcat/maven/plugin/tomcat7/run/AbstractRunMojo.java?view=markup](http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/maven-plugin/tags/tomcat-maven-plugin-2.0/tomcat7-maven-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/tomcat/maven/plugin/tomcat7/run/AbstractRunMojo.java?view=markup) alex On Thu, Dec 4, 2014 at 2:13 AM, Chetan Padhye [chetanpadhye@gmail.com](mailto:chetanpadhye@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi Good plugin . .
