Get MavenProject from just the POM.xml - pom parser?

Question

Is it possible to get an instance of org.apache.maven.project.MavenProject or some other object form of the POM from just the pom.xml file?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

yes you can . This is the code. You need maven-model-3.0.4.jar and plexus-utils-2.0.6.jar and maven-core-3.0.4.jar

Model model = null;
FileReader reader = null;
MavenXpp3Reader mavenreader = new MavenXpp3Reader();
try {
    reader = new FileReader(pomfile);
    model = mavenreader.read(reader);
    model.setPomFile(pomfile);
}catch(Exception ex){}
MavenProject project = new MavenProject(model);
