I think that your best bet for now is to take a look at o.a.m.cli.MavenCli. It uses the embedder to start the Plexus container and look up the Maven component which is most likely what you want. You might also want to check in with the mevenide[1] guys to see what their status on integrating mevenide with eclipse and any work on the maven eclipse plugin plugin (nice name eh?). It's a plugin to Maven for creating Eclipse plugins. [1]: http://mevenide.codehaus.org -- Trygve
