How to start jboss using jbos-as-maven plugin? - maven

Question

I'm trying to start jboss using maven build. following is my plugin configuration
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>7.3.Final</version>
<configuration>
<serverName>all</serverName>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I have set the JBOSS_HOME variable also. But mvn jboss:start-and-wait fails with following error.
ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:jboss-maven-plugin:1.5.0:start-and-wait (default-cli) on project sub_project_a: Unable to get JBoss JMX MBean connection: Receive timed out -> [Help 1]

It looks like you have a mix of things here. The org.jboss.as.plugins:jboss-as-maven-plugin does not have a start-and-wait goal. Also the prefix is jboss-as. Lastly there is no serverName configuration option.
It appears that you're using the codehaus jboss-maven-plugin which is different than the jboss-as-maven-plugin.
