Calling Maven goals from Java

Question

Is it possible to call Maven goals from Java, for instance, can I do the equivalent of:

mvn clean package

from a Java class?

thanks, Ni

Answer 1

This is easy :)

Java code

MavenCli cli = new MavenCli();
cli.doMain(new String[]{"clean", "package"}, "project_dir", System.out, System.out);

Project configuration:

    
        org.apache.maven
        maven-embedder
        3.1.1
    
    
        org.eclipse.aether
        aether-connector-wagon
        0.9.0.M2
    
    
        org.apache.maven.wagon
        wagon-http-lightweight
        2.5
