Question

This question is a result of an answer to this question from yesterday

run a java application and a web application in a single maven build within a reactor project<

Answer 1

Having tried various options, I've found that the process-exec-maven-plugin to be best. I realize that the OP is asking about maven-antrun-plugin specifically but that is because of an answer received to a generic question.

An example of using it to start a nodeJs server which is used as part of integration tests:

    com.bazaarvoice.maven.plugins
    process-exec-maven-plugin
    ${process-exec-maven-plugin.version}
    
        
        
            node-server
            pre-integration-test
            
                start
            
            
                node-server
                ../../test-server-dir
                false
                http://localhost:3000/
                
                    node
                    ./app.js
                
            
        
        
        
            stop-all
            post-integration-test
            
                stop-all
