How do you Configure Selenium Server using selenese command from Maven-Selenium plugin?

I am trying to configure the selenium server that is used by the selenese command by the Maven-Selenium plugin from codehaus. I have tried to create multiple executions within the plugin start the server in the pre-integration-test phase, which didn't work. The selenium-server simply went into an infinite loop, listening on a port.

I want to know if there is a way to override/configure the selenium-server that the selenese command uses in the plugin. Please let me know.

Please see the POM snippet below.

Try setting startURL to the url of the application under test instead of pointing to the selenium rc server url. For example, if your selenium test case is clicking a link on google, set startURL to http://www.google.com

Here's a snippet from my pom that's working**

<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
      <browser>*firefox</browser>
      <startURL>http://my-site.com</startURL>
      <suite>test-suite</suite>
      <!-- <logOutput>true</logOutput> -->
      <!-- <timeoutInSeconds>30</timeoutInSeconds> -->
        </configuration>
<executions>
  <execution>
    <id>test</id>
        <phase>test</phase>
        <goals>
      <goal>selenese</goal>
        </goals>
  </execution>
</executions>
  </plugin>

** It works great except that on Mac OS, firefox just stays open and doesn't close?! But, hope that helps.
