Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-jboss-as');

start-jboss-as task

This task can be used as a standalone task in order to start a JBoss AS instance, set the configured ports, JVM parameters and keystore. It receives as input the following arguments in order: jbossHome, xms, xmx, permSize, bindingAddress, httpPort, httpsPort, keystoreAlias, keystorePassword, keystoreFile, securityProtocol. You can execute it by using:

grunt start-jboss-as:/home/user/jbosss-7.1.1.Final

You can pass more arguments by adding : and the argument's value. For instance, in order to startup a JBoss AS instance using the xms and xmx JVM parameters you have to execute:

grunt start-jboss-as:/home/user/jbosss-7.1.1.Final:128m:1024m

Note that the JBoss AS pid is printed in the stdout: [INFO] start-jboss-as: =====> process id: '__3835'. You can use the pid number e.g 3835 in order to kill the process, by using the stop-process task:
