How to programmatically call a Maven-task

Question

I\'m using Maven in the context of another build-tool (leiningen for Clojure, but this should not matter), and I would like to know how I would call a plugin like dependency:bui

Answer 1

The Ant Maven tasks can give you an idea how to do it (DependenciesTask source). Another route may be the PomModuleDescriptorParser used by Ivy.
