How to run Maven from Java?

Question

I want to execute Maven command from Java for development of a plugin. I tried maven-embedder but looks like it is now not supported. Is someone aware of some other tool which can be used?

Answer 1

A simple invocation API : maven-invoker.

Project documentation : http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-invoker/

Usage : http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-invoker/usage.html

InvocationRequest request = new DefaultInvocationRequest();
request.setPomFile( new File( "/path/to/pom.xml" ) );
request.setGoals( Arrays.asList( "clean", "install" ) );

Invoker invoker = new DefaultInvoker();
invoker.execute( request );
