Description

Using the maven-activemq-plugin (aka activemq-maven-plugin) in a multi-module build the plugin throws an exception and fails the build if it was started by another module in the same build. This is a problem because there is no way to stop the broker from the previous module, and in a multi-module build the broker does not stop until all modules in the build reactor are finished. Because of this problem, a single module cannot be run independently. An optional configuration flag <continueIfAlreadyRunning/> would address this problem. See related AMQ-4509.
