Maven plugin - how to

Hi !

I'm trying to use the maven plugin for cactus, but I don't manage to make it works.

I've got a maven project containing cactus ServletTestCase and ServletTestSuite classes that test classes
packaged in the artifact application.ear. And these tests depend on other things that need the application.ear
to be deployed and started on my jboss server.


On the maven plugin website goals are described, but it does not help me : if I execute "maven cactus:test",
it won't work because the test need the application to be deployed and started ; if I execute "maven
catus:jar-install" it gives me a jar file, but what next ?

My question is simple : how should I configure my project to be able to execute my cactus tests ?

Thank you for your help

Bertrand.
PS: I use Maven 1.1
