title: How to start spring-boot application before running integration test
body: <p>I am using Gatling plugin in my spring-boot application to do performance tests of the REST APIs exposed as part of the application hence need my application to be up before the gatling tests runs. </p>
  
  <p>Since Gatling execution is associated to integration-test phase by default so I tried using start-stop goals for pre-integration-phase and post-integration-phase respectively but getting below error for the same :</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal
    org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:1.5.1.RELEASE:start
    (pre-integration-test) on project : Spring application did not start
    before the configured timeout (30000ms -> [Help 1] ]</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Just to add that running gatling goal <code>mvn gatling:execute</code> runs just fine when the application is up but i want to run it as part of maven phases.</p>
