help:effective-pom should be available through an API
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3745
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3745
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: General
Reporter: Jason Smith
When building tools around Maven 2, you need to be able to read the effective
POM. Currently, the only obvious way to do this is to run help:effective-pom
as a process and capture the output, parsing out the XML portion.
It would be useful to have an API version of effective-POM, which returned the
effective POM of an artifact either as a String or a DOM Document. Take your
pick. I'm not choosy.
And if this already exists, it probably ought to be documented a little better.
:-)
Thanks.
