If you're doing it outside of Maven, you'll essentially need to reuse a number
of the libraries. This isn't strictly supported in the current version, and the
APIs may change.
That said, an example of how it can be done is shown here:
http://github.com/brettporter/centrepoint/blob/master/centrepoint/modules/maven-importer/src/main/java/com/effectivemaven/centrepoint/maven/repository/CentralRepositoryService.java
Bear in mind that the loaded projects are cached in memory in Maven 2 and that
will grow over time.
Depending on what you are trying to achieve, you may find it better to execute
mvn help:effective-pom externally and capture the output.
Cheers,
Brett
