Thank you for the gist. I tried the above along with
<activeProfiles> redhat-ga-repository <activeProfile>start-h2</activeProfile> </activeProfiles>
Also under profile I have added
<activation> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> </activation>

However the h2 web console does not start. Anything I am missing here ?
