MavenUtils.getProject doesn't load all project info

[Hugo Miguel Monteiro da Palma]

Hi.
I want to have a standalone java application that loads a POM file into a 
org.apache.maven.project.Project class instance. I'm coding it like this:
Project proj = org.apache.maven.MavenUtils.getProject(new 
File("myProject\\project.xml"));
proj.initialize(); // is this needed ?
The problem is that with this the only info i get loaded is the project id and the 
project name, no dependencies, no version, no nothing. What am i doing wrong ? I'm 
using rc2.
Thanks.
