Maven embedder issue

[Kannan Kesavan]

I am using MavenEmbedder 2.1 to parse my pom.xml. I have attached two files with this mail.

One is my java program which is try to parse pom.xml and get MavenProject out of it
Next one is my pom.xml.

My question is, how to pass runtime arguments to MavenEmbedder?

If you see in pom.xml, for one dependency I have mentioned $ variable which will be resolved at runtime.

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-io</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>${dep.version}</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

This ${dep.version} is available as a property within pom.xml. If you see the properties section, you can find dep.version

<properties>
<dep.version>${prop.version}</dep.version>
</properties>

Value for this dep.version is ${prop.version} which will be resolved only at runtime. If we are using maven from command prompt, then we can run install goal like this

mvn install -Dprop.version=1.2

Maven will resolve the ${prop.version} using command line parameters.

I just to want to know how to pass this in Maven Embedder.

Actually using Configuration class we can set system properties. In this case System property get appended to JVM System property which will affect our multi threaded build process (Our build machine sit on top up of solaris box where only one JVM is running and build process is a multi threaded one) If a system property is added to JVM, then it will have an effect on all other threads which are simulatenously running)

Did you get any success with this, I am hitting the same problem, and the request's setProperties do not seem to be applicable for this.
