mvn package jboss-as:deploy failing - maven

Question

This is my plugin information in pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>7.0.2.Final</version>
</plugin>
I have downloaded the jboss AS 7.0.2 on my laptop under the /jboss folder (Mac OSX)
Although I am able to it as a local server on my Eclipse IDE and am able to run my projects via that.I wanted to give a try with mvn jboss-as:deploy.
And it gives this error :
[INFO] --- jboss-as-maven-plugin:7.0.2.Final:deploy (default-cli) # propertyfinder ---
[INFO] Executing goal deploy on server localhost (127.0.0.1) port 9999.

Make sure the server is running and/or consider setting a longer timeout by setting -Dorg.jboss.as.client.connect.timeout=<timeout in ms>. -> [Help 1]
Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

If you are starting with JBOSS. Before starting JBOSS application server. add the management user
Refer link to add management user.
Start Server by running standalone.bat( windows) or standalone.sh(linux) under bin directory
You can quickly verify if the server is started or not by logging into home page http://localhost:9990/console.
In the log verify if port 9999 is listening which is used for deployment( a default configuration, else you can check which port is listening for remoting)
Use the following maven plug-in configuration. user name and password is the management user and password
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${jboss.as.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<hostname>localhost</hostname>
<username>{user name}</username>
<password>{password}</password>
<port>9999</port>
</configuration>
</plugin>
You can use either jboss-as:deploy or jboss-as:redeploy
