Description

Right now the parameter keepLaunchpadRunning blocks the start mojo until one of the servers is terminated. It is not that easy to explicitly terminate the server though because Maven does not propagate the Ctrl+C to the server.

Usually it is much more useful to instead block stopping of the server (i.e. the stop mojo).
I would propose to deprecate keepLaunchpadRunning and instead introduce the following parameter (which may be used together with start and/or stop):
blockUntilKeyIsPressed which should leverage the Prompter component (http://stackoverflow.com/a/21977269/5155923) which forces the Mojo to wait until the user entered some value.
