Description

It is currently not easily possible to launch a FM-based application as part of an integration test, as the slingfeature-maven-plugin:launch goal always blocks.

I think we should keep this goal as-is, and add two new goals:

• start
• stop

The plugin can then take a list of launch configurations that will be started and stopped without blocking, and used in integration tests.

The implementation can also be a part of another plug-in, as the slingfeature-maven-plugin already does quite a lot.
