Hot deployment to GlassFish using cargo-maven2-plugin, how to configure?

Question

Did I understand right from this page that Cargo Maven plugin doesn't support hot remote deployment to GlassFish 3.x? If I'm wrong, how can I configure it to support such type of operation?

Maybe I should use some other plugin? I'd like to deploy to GlassFish remote installation, through HTTP, in "hot" mode.

This is what I've done so far:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.4</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <configuration>
        <tasks>
          <tempfile property="ant.temp-ear" deleteonexit="true" destdir="/tmp" />
          <copy
            file="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging}" 
            tofile="${ant.temp-ear}" verbose="true" />
          <exec executable="${glassfish.home}/glassfish/bin/asadmin" 
            failonerror="true">
            <arg value="--user=${glassfish.username}"/>
            <arg value="--passwordfile=${glassfish.passwordfile}"/>
            <arg value="--interactive=false"/>
            <arg value="--host=${glassfish.host}"/>
            <arg value="--port=${glassfish.adminport}"/>
            <arg value="deploy"/>
            <arg value="--force"/>
            <arg value="--name=${project.artifactId}"/>
            <arg value="${ant.temp-ear}"/>
          </exec>
        </tasks>
      </configuration>
      <goals>
        <goal>run</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

Works perfectly, but asadmin (and the entire GlassFish, I assume) has to be installed on the same machine where mvn is executed.

Is it possible to perform the same task with Cargo plugin?
