Hi,
Is it possible to embed the maven engine in a java program?
Yes, but it is based on the trunk work. So many changes have been made
in 2.1 to better enable embedding that it's not possible to easily
backport it to the current release branch.
I think of using it as plugin management for an application.
You don't need Maven specifically for this as Maven is one
implementation of the system based on Plexus and Maven Artifact. The
best working example of this in my opinion is the Jetty Run plugin. It
has the logic to grab dependencies, and create classpaths if you need
something right now.
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!
Jan
