Hi,
Well, currently running archetype:create seems the simplest way to me.
The embedder is primarily meant to build projects, not to create them.
You might want to take a look at the maven-cli project. Some plugins, like
archetype, don't require an existing pom.xml.
A sequence like this (more or less) should work for you:
MavenEmbedder embedder = new MavenEmbedder();
embedder.start();
Settings settings = embedder.buildSettings(
embedder.getUserSettingsPath( null ),
embedder.getGlobalSettingsPath(),
false,
false,
false,
false );
Properties properties = new Properties();
// set archetype parameters in properties
MavenExecutionRequest request = new DefaultMavenExecutionRequest()
.setBasedir(..)
.setGoals( Arrays.asList( new String[] { "archetype.create" } )
.setLocalRepositoryPath( embedder.getLocalRepositoryPath( settings )
.setSettings( settings )
.setProperties( properties );
embedder.execute( request );
.. and we don't set a pom file here.
Good luck!
