Just to give everybody a heads up, I'm working a MavenEmbedder Web

The

maven. Any ideas on whether this may have general usability within
Maven
itself?
That's cool provided this is something that is not actually in the
embedder.
You may also want to look at the framework that the Geronimo folks
did for Continuum which is essentially a message based build
distribution which makes more sense then a web service because you
need to get the information back and JMS is a better model for this
if you're actually trying to send build information to a remote
machine, and have the results be returned.
There are many clients for ActiveMQ for example and I'm sure there is
a .net implementation but using the STOMP wire format it would be
pretty easy to create. A web service for invoking builds, IMO, would
be a poor choice. David Blevins already pondered this while doing
GBuild and I would suggest you pursue that road for actually building.
If you are trying to collect information and parse POMs and get
information about projects then a web service would be appropriate
but certainly not for build information. You do not want to re-invent
the reliability aspect of sending and receiving the build information
and JMS is obviously perfect for this.
