Some of the code is available from Maven itself - e.g. help:effective-pom - but of course that output would then need to be parsed. Someone that knows Maven intermals well could probably produce a plugin that returned the information Gump needs in a format that Gump could easily use. But I don't currently have that knowledge. > Stefan > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@gump.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@gump.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@gump.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@gump.apache.org
