Can I use this for a hooked mongoDB? #67

Closed xetra11 closed 7 years ago

xetra11 commented 8 years ago

Hello, I am curious if I could use this plugin to start a mongoDB together with a tomcat + webapp. ATM I am tired of starting a mongo instance by hand every time I run the webapp. Because the webapp does start without it but is very slowly. Therefore I'd like not to care about this anymore and just run my goal and see the mongoDB starting with it as well.

again - is this possible with this plugin?

Hi, sorry for the delay. I read this but forgot to reply.

It certainly sounds like you could use this plugin for what you need. Do you start your app in a particular Maven phase? The simples thing is to start your app during a maven phase, and bind this embedmongo-maven-plugin to that same phase or before.
