Hi, there is a project called maven-embedder [1] for integrating maven in other application (IDE's ...).
You also may want to have a look at two other projects that might provide what you are looking for. First there is POMStrap [1], its an application bootstrapper working with pom files. And second there is PAX-Runner [3] from the OPS4J project which is a frontend for various OSGi frameworks (Concierge, Equinox, Felix and Knopflerfish) that can bootstrap from bundles specified as dependencies in a pom file. Hope that helps -Tim [1] http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-embedding-m2.html [2] http://pomstrap.prefetch.com/en/ [3] http://wiki.ops4j.org/confluence/display/ops4j/Pax+Runner Jan Torben Heuer schrieb:
Hi, Is it possible to embed the maven engine in a java program? I think of using it as plugin management for an application. I want to define an artifact (my pointing to a pom or giving an "group:artifact:version" string. Then I want maven to resolve, download and add the artifact+dependencies to my classpath at runtime. Has anyone tried it, yet? If not, will it be worth a try? Thanks!
