I would like to use Maven at Runtime, i.e. use a project POM to define the dependencies, then at application startup use Maven to resolve the dependencies and download them.
Google reveals that I'm not the only one with this idea, but I didn't find any examples of descriptions of how to do it. Codehaus are themselves sort of doing this in connection with the Sonar tool, i.e. the Maven sonar plugin will download dependencies from the Artifactory server embedded in Sonar at runtime, when analysing source code. Cool. I guess I could simply use the project POM, then run maven command line with the resolve dependencies goal, but for some reason that seems like a hack to me. There must be an API somewhere that does the same. Am I on the right track? Any examples out there? Any ideas? Cheers, Villemos.
