Using maven for non-typical situations (i.e. not for building Java
projects)
Hi,
We are developing some software that will use a notion of deployment repositories. Various 'nodes' will need access to artifacts within this repository at run-time. Artifacts can have dependencies on other artifacts. So, we're basically just dealing with artifact sharing and resolution of run-time dependencies.
This seems to have many of the same concepts that Maven encompasses. Consequently, it would be nice if we could leverage Maven somehow.
I've been looking at the Maven source. As I'm sure you know, there is quite a bit. Mainly, I've played around with the Wagon stuff.
I was wondering if anyone else has leveraged Maven programmatically and/or could provide me with some guidance.
For example, I'd like to do something like:
Repository repo = new Repository("http://my_repo/basedir");
Artifact[] artifacts = repo.searchByGroupId("org.apache.maven")
for (Artifact art : artifacts) // list dependencies
How about having our node generate a pom on the fly that references a custom plugin? I know those have access to Artifacts...
Thanks.

I don't think what you want is in the Maven code, but rather in of one
of the various repository managers (Archiva, Nexus, etc.).
Here's some sample code for searching a repo hosted by Archiva, using
its xml-rpc interface:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/archiva/trunk/archiva-modules/archiva-web/archiva-xmlrpc/archiva-xmlrpc-client/src/main/java/org/apache/archiva/web/xmlrpc/client/SampleClient.java

I was just brainstorming, but it would probably be in the local repository.

which customised plugin will you be seeking to register in the repository?
Will you be using either an local or online repository for this plugin?
