As noted in the readme.html in the example, if you want to start your own broker instance manually then you should execute the example with 'mvn -PnoServer verify' so that the plugin won't try starting it's own broker (which is the default behavior).
To be clear, just about every example is 100% self-contained (there are a couple exceptions). By "self-contained" I mean that the example will do everything required to create the broker instance, configure the broker instance, start the broker instance, execute an example client, stop the broker instance, and report the result. If you're starting your own broker instance manually then you also need to ensure it is configured correctly. My guess is that you've missed something in your broker's configuration that is causing the example client to fail. Can you provide details on your broker's configuration (e.g. bootstrap.xml, login.config, broker.xml, users/roles properties files)?
