[hibernate-dev] [OGM] Embedded MongoDB for tests

[Emmanuel Bernard]

This looks like a good idea and fixes the workaround we had around
optional testing based on profiles.
The only drawback is that we still need to make sure OGM is naturally
usable without it but if we use 
https://github.com/joelittlejohn/embedmongo-maven-plugin
it looks like the mongodb instance is started before we test and stopped
after that.

I wonder how you can debug things though and look at the content outside
your tests? I guess you would install a regular mongodb on a different
port.
