Hi,
No, it's not possible AFAIK: Java doesn't have the notion of a 'current
directory'
or 'working directory'; you can only find out the directory that java started
from,
and it cannot be changed (like chdir(2) @ man-pages).
(Btw, I'f I'm wrong I sure want to know about it! :))
All plugins however have access to a ${basedir} variable, containing the path to
the pom.xml currently being built.
If you look at MavenArcheTypePlugin line 179, you'll find:
String basedir = System.getProperty( "user.dir" );
So this plugin only supports creating/updating projects in the startup
directory.
You might get away with updating that system property (but it's probably
readonly),
and even if it's possible to update it I can't recommend it,
especially in a multithreaded environment like Eclipse (your plugin could be
called
from the embedder).
Your best bet is to get the archetype plugin updated[1],
or use the archetype api directly - the plugin is actually only a few lines of
code.

Hello,
I have developed some maven2 plugins and to run them I should be in the
directory of the pom.xml file. Is there a way of running my plugin anywhere
(like for e.g mvn archetype:create)?
Thanks
