Web Service and SOA Testing - the leaders- eviware

I followed the steps on installing the SoapUI plugin for Maven. Being new at this I was in need of some clarification from the instructions at:

http://www.soapui.org/plugin/maven2/index.html

Here are my notes in case anyone else gets stuck.

Prior to using the plugin, add the eviware maven 2 repository to your project's pom file;

Add the following soapUI plugin to your pom.xml
Here is my project's pom.xml.

Please note that I moved the sample-soapui-project.xml file from the eviware SoapUI install directory to my local directory where my pom.xml file is located.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
   <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
   <groupId>MavenSoapProject</groupId>
   <artifactId>MavenSoapProject</artifactId>
   <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
   <description></description>
   <build>
      <plugins>
         <plugin>
            <groupId>eviware</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-soapui-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.7.6</version>
            <configuration>
               <projectFile>sample-soapui-project.xml</projectFile>
               <host>http://127.0.0.1:8181</host>
            </configuration>
         </plugin>
      </plugins>
   </build>

   <pluginRepositories>
      <pluginRepository>
         <id>eviwarePluginRepository</id>
         <url>http://www.eviware.com/repository/maven2/</url>
           <releases>
<updatePolicy>daily</updatePolicy>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<updatePolicy>daily</updatePolicy>
</snapshots>
      </pluginRepository>
   </pluginRepositories>
</project>

Now the following maven commands will invoke the soapui sample project:

Run functional tests with

mvn eviware:maven-soapui-plugin:test

loadtests with

mvn eviware:maven-soapui-plugin:loadtest

and MockServices with

mvn eviware:maven-soapui-plugin:mock

Very nice and useful plugin. Especially when running inside eclipse.
