Running protractor tests as part of the Maven buil

Question

I have a Maven project and I wan't to change the POM so that when I build the project (Clean + Install), after the compilation part, a set of protractor tests will start (opening selenium and doing several things), and only if the tests pass, the build itself passes.

I can't seem to find something that gives me this kind of functionality. Is is possible? and if so, How do I use it? We are currently using the 'com.github.eirslett' maven plugin for building and I was wondering if it is possible to add the protractor tests as a stage in this plugin. I can see that it supports unit testing with 'Karma' but not anything related to protractor.

Any help will be much appreciated!! Thanks :)

I am using grunt to execute these test like below :-

       <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.1</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>Run Protractor Tests</id>
                    <phase>integration-test</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>exec</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <executable>grunt${script.extension}</executable>
                        <arguments>
                            <argument>int-test</argument>
                        </arguments>
                        <workingDirectory>${basedir}/modules</workingDirectory>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
