JarCastingredis-maven-plugin 
Maven plugin to embed a redis-server based on the redis-protocol project. This is an in-memory redis server. That means that when the server shutsdown or closes, the data is no longer available.

Running with Integration Tests
Just add the following plugin. The redis plugin is automatically attached to the pre-integration-test and post-integration-test phases.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.kualigan.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>redis-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${redis-maven-plugin.version}</version>
</plugin>
Attaching to Another Phase
In case (for whatever reason), you don't want your redis server started/stopped with integration tests, here's how you would configure it.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.kualigan.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>redis-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${redis-maven-plugin.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>start-redis</id>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>start</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>stop-redis</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>stop</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Running Unforked
Sometimes there is a need to just crank up a redis server while you're running your project, but you're not running integration tests. For example, maybe you're running a tomcat7 instance of your application that requires an embedded redis server. We can do that! Or maybe you just need a quick redis server for whatever.
Add the following to your $HOME/.m2/settings.xml
<settings>
<pluginGroups>
<pluginGroup>org.kualigan.maven.plugins</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>
...
...
</settings>
Execute the following
mvn redis-server:start-no-fork
