Maven wildfly-maven-plugin custom standalone.xml

Question

How can I use a custom standalone.xml when running wildfly-maven-plugin:start (not just adding datasources, drivers,...)?

Using wildfly-maven-plugin-1.0.2.Final:

<groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.2.Final</version>
...
<execution>
    <id>pre-integration-phase</id>
    <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
    <goals>
        <goal>start</goal>
        <goal>deploy</goal>
    </goals>
</execution>
...

I have tried using maven-resources-plugin for copying resources (standalone.xml) in wildfly configuration folder, but it seems that wildfly:start overwrites and deletes every (other) file in Wildfly (configuration) directory.

This task is used for jenkins integration testing, thats why I need jboss running just when testing is in progress.

You can unpack the WildFly installation and then set jbossHome configuration element in wildfly-maven-plugin.

Example configuration:

    <version.wildfly>8.2.0.Final</version.wildfly>
    <jboss.home>${project.build.directory}/wildfly-${version.wildfly}</jboss.home>
    <server.config>standalone.xml</server.config>
