Help with Selenium Maven Cargo

I am trying to use cargo to deploy and start my container (which works fine), and then use selenium to execute some UI tests.

Whenever I try to run (mvn clean integration-test), I get to the point where it says

Launching Selenium Server
Waiting for Selenium Server...
[INFO]Redirecting output to
[INFO]User extensions

But then my integration tests never get executed by surefire. Any help is much appreciated. It seems like the Selenium Server never gets started.

One quick note, I am using JUnit 4.4

I tried using ANT instead, to copy over the selenium-server and start selenium that way. When I do that, my integration tests run, but I got the following error, which is why I was trying to use the selenium-maven-plugin.

Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.3 sec <<< FAILURE!

Here is the relevant snippets in my pom.xml

Here is the output from the selenium server.log file:

I got this finally to work. Here are a couple of things that made this work:

JBOSS in the default startup started up its RMI Port on 4444 (that's the same one as Selenium ). Not sure why I this wasn't more blatant obvious, maybe the sequence of runs in the maven file. I added a port to the selenium-maven-plugin configuration, and added a system property of selenim.port to the surefire-plugin, PRESTO, it worked.
My plugin repository for Codehause (which publishes the selenium-maven-plugin) was set to snapshots (DOH). I changed it to the release repo, that seemed to get things moving.
I changed the type of the project to "pom", so it didn't attempt to create a JAR
I don't know if it mattered or not, but I moved the surefire plugin to be AFTER the selenium-maven-plugin
