testing of certain scenarios - again and again with the same initial conditions
training - create a partition in certain state for students
Reset the partition - in case you’re re-using the partition for a use-case, you can quickly reset it to initial state.

Setup
To use the maven plugin, you must add the plugin to your maven pom.xml file. The plugin is hosted from the public Pricefx Nexus repository. The plugin requires some properties. Some of these properties can be specified directly within the pom.xml files. See this setup guide for detailed instructions.
But the properties that connects the plugin to your remote Pricefx partition should rather be via a maven build profile. See this setup guide for detailed instructionsGit repository. Pricefx internals can contribute to this project code base.
