I'd like to embed Maven or the library that does all the magic into my Java application.
The keypoints :
They are two tasks I want to perform :
1/ Publishing a jar in local repository
2/ Publishing a jar in a private enterprise repository (Nexus)
All required jars MUST be located in a public Maven repository
The jars SHOULD be Maven version agnostic (ie not specific to Maven 2 or 3)
If you can , please provide a snippet with your response.
Here is an example embedding Maven 2 libraries:
Instead of looking up the project builder, you can look up the ArtifactInstaller and ArtifactDeployer - you'll find the code you want in the maven-install-plugin and the maven-deploy-plugin.
The difference just POSTing in this example is that it will generate the appropriate metadata, checksums and snapshot transformations.
The Maven 3 libraries may be easier to embed and remain compatible with Maven 2, however I don't have any examples readily available.
