Ah ok.. still, the main() method is really just one way of executing that code - there's no reason why you couldn't call that from a plugin.. > I tried to write my own plugin and so far it could work if there wasn't > a classpath problem.

You can just use the URLClassLoader and add the mavenProject.getRuntimeClasspathElements() and add those. Not all (read: most) plugins don't need the classpath to be filled with the dependencies. Only the unit test and compiler plugins, actually. The rest just operates on the sources/resources/class files themselves, or operate on the dependency files themselves. That's why it doesn work 'out of the box'. But since this is such a popular request, there will probably be a utility method somewhere that constructs your classloader for you, in the near future. -- Kenney > Tnx and regards, > > Alex > > > > Kenney Westerhof wrote: > > On Sat, 15 Jul 2006, Tim Kettler wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > This is exactly what plugins are for.
