How do I run a spring-boot-rest application from a different module eg: in CI build via Maven?
<pre><code>   |--Integration tests 
   |--Spring boot rest application
</code></pre>

<p>I have two modules, 
Spring boot application is where I have the end points, 
it runs on its own embedded tomcat, I want to be able to run it as a part of Integration test's maven build and run integration tests on it. </p>

<p>My question is, is there a way to run spring boot application from a different module via maven?</p>

<p>On Spring boot's website I can only see an example of running a spring-boot application through its own pom by using spring-boot-maven-plugin, but not by running the application as a part of different module by specifiying a jar file with in the execution. </p>
