Resolution: Duplicate
this issue can be closed, missing features in embedder are already traked by
MNG-1181 MavenEmbedder.execute() doesn't run reactor modules
MNG-1083 Provide read/write methods for manipulating Maven settings
> provide a way to test plugins without installing them

> Sometimes unit tests for plugins can't be really affordable (other than
> harder to write) when not using a "real" maven execution. Manually setting
> needed properties in the Mojo and calling execute() is error prone, doesn't
> test real parameters from pom.xml, and it's hard to deal wih multiprojects...
> Maven should provide a way to test plugins without installing them and a base
> class for testing. Ideally, plugins found on the classpath should always be
> used instead of the currently installed version. (btw, that's how also the
> Eclipse plugin environment work: when a plugin is found on the classpath,
> it's loaded and the currently installed version is ignored).
> A plugin test should be easy to write just like:
> MavenTest maven = new MavenTest(); // load a new maven test instances,
> plugins found in classpath override installed ones
> maven.setBaseDir(basedir);
> maven.setProfile(myprofile);
> maven.execute("eclipse:eclipse")
> At the moment this is really needed in the site plugin and eclipse plugin
> (actually some tests are performed executing maven from command line)
