Has anyone successfully run integration tests with Jboss embedded, Seam and Maven?

Question

Have been trying to get integration testing working with my seam project and the Jboss embedded container but am not having much success. Have been doing a lot of reading and have been trying what is mentioned in this JIRA but am not having any luck.

Amy currently just trying to get the 'testproject-master-JBSEAM-2371.zip' project working but am getting the following exception

ERROR [org.jboss.embedded.DeploymentScanner] Failed to deploy
org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: No deployer recognised the structure of vfsfile:/Users/aaron/Development/eclipse_workspaces/workspace_pink/testproject-web/target/test-classes/conf/jboss-service.xml
    at org.jboss.deployers.vfs.plugins.structure.VFSStructuralDeployersImpl.determineStructure(VFSStructuralDeployersImpl.java:219)
    at org.jboss.deployers.structure.spi.helpers.AbstractStructuralDeployers.determineStructure(AbstractStructuralDeployers.java:77)

Has oneone had any luck with getting the Seam integration tests working using maven and NOT a seam-gen project?

I gave up on the embedded JBoss and switched with using the Maven JBoss Plugin to deploy to a JBoss instance started as a separate process. Not ideal but there were to many conflicts with our code and Maven to get around. Is there a reason you need the embedded version?

You should be able to do something like this to deploy to JBoss in the pre-integration test phase so the integration test could run against. You would still have to launch jboss before maven. Not ideal, but this is working for me.
