Maven spring boot pre-integration-test timeout error - spring

Question

When I run the command install of my server's Lifecycle I get the following error:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

It obviously comes from the timeout settings but I cannot find where I have to change this value...
Not sure if it can help but here's some of my pom.xml related to the unit and integration testings:
<!-- Unit testing -->
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<!-- Integration testing -->
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.19.1</version>
<configuration>
<skipTests>false</skipTests>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Here's the debug log: http://pastebin.com/kUkufHFS

You are trying to start a spring boot app before in pre-integration-test phase.
The spring-boot-maven-plugin StartMojo class (org.springframework.boot.maven) is complaining because the app is not started within the default timeout, wich is defined by the attributes "wait" (defautl value: 500 ms) and "maxAttempts" (default: 60) -> 500 * 60.
/**
* The number of milli-seconds to wait between each attempt to check if the spring
* application is ready.
*/
#Parameter
private long wait = 500;
/**
* The maximum number of attempts to check if the spring application is ready.
* Combined with the "wait" argument, this gives a global timeout value (30 sec by
* default)
*/
#Parameter
private int maxAttempts = 60;
"wait" and "maxAttempts" are annotated #Parameter, which means you can change their value from within your pom file, in the plugin configuration like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<wait>1000</wait>
<maxAttempts>180</maxAttempts>
</configuration>
<executions>
...
</executions>
</plugin>
