Dear sir/madame, I'm Elmar Maan and I'm studying software engineering in Holland.
I'm developing a desktop application, that can easily generate maven modules, inside a Maven project. This will be a JavaFX application, so I need to call Maven commands from Java code. This is what I've tried: First I tried to use the Maven library, which I found in the Maven central repository. (org.apache.maven.archetype: archetype-common 2.2) I wanted to use the DefaultArchetypeManager the generate a project from an archetype (generateProjectFromArchetype(ArchtypeRequest, request) This gave me a lot of nullpointer exceptions, because almost all the classes that it uses are interfaces, which are never initialized. So after three days of struggling with the library, I had no results. Then I found the maven-embedder library. This library lets me run the maven command-line commands, like mvn archetype:generate, and works just fine, but I think it's deprecated, because there is no more information on the maven site. Also the library I used earlier has less or zero documentation or examples. My question is, What's the best way to call the maven archetype:generate command, so I can generate archetypes from remote catalogs etc. Is there another library, or am i developing something that is not even possible?
