The EmbeddedManagedProcess should have a start method which accepts a timeout for the server to start ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-3778 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-3778 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Embedded Reporter: James Perkins Assignee: James Perkins Currently the {{EmbeddedManagedProcess}}, which both the {{StandaloneServer}} and {{HostController}} extend, only contains a {{start()}} method which immediately returns. There should be a {{start(int timeout)}} which will wait the specified amount of time then throw an exception is the server was not successfully started within that time. A timeout of 0 or less would mean no timeout was specified and the {{start()}} method should just return immediately. This could also be a setting on the new {{Configuration}} API so the default {{start()}} method would have a timeout associated with it. A value of 0 should be the default so there are no behavioral changes.
