        <serverClass>uk.gov.justice.artemis.EmbeddedArtemisServer</serverClass>

			<id>Spawn a new Artemis server</id>
			<phase>process-test-classes</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>start</goal>
			</goals>
		</execution>
		<execution>
			<id>Stop a spawned Artemis server</id>
			<phase>verify</phase>
			<goals>

			 </goals>
		</execution>
	</executions>
	<dependencies>

	</dependencies>
    </plugin>
