fabrizio giustina commented on MNG-1421: ---------------------------------------- Thanks for the pointer Vincent however, apart from the missing settings support, it seems that when using MavenEmbedder I can't run a multiproject build: modules included in the parsed pom are ignored, and passing a list of poms has a totally different result (no reactor build). Is this supported in some way? > provide a way to test plugins without installing them > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1421 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1421 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Improvement > Components: maven-core > Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: fabrizio giustina > > > Sometimes unit tests for plugins can't be really affordable (other than > harder to write) when not using a "real" maven execution.
