[Samuel Santos (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-261?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12611761#comment-12611761 ] 

Samuel Santos commented on SHRINKWRAP-261:
------------------------------------------

I was doing something very similar:

{code}
public class Maven
{
   public static GenericArchive artifact(String coordinates) throws ResolutionException
   {
      // ...
   }

   public static Collection<GenericArchive> artifacts(String... coordinates) throws ResolutionException
   {
      // ...
   }

   public static MavenInternal withPom(String path) throws ResolutionException
   {
      // ...
   }

   static class MavenInternal
   {

      private final MavenRepositorySystem system;

      private final RepositorySystemSession session;

      private Map<ArtifactAsKey, MavenDependency> pomInternalDependencyManagement;

      MavenInternal()
      {
         this.system = new MavenRepositorySystem(new MavenRepositorySettings());
         this.pomInternalDependencyManagement = new HashMap<ArtifactAsKey, MavenDependency>();
         this.session = system.getSession();
      }

      MavenInternal(String path)
      {
         this.system = new MavenRepositorySystem(new MavenRepositorySettings());
         this.pomInternalDependencyManagement = new HashMap<ArtifactAsKey, MavenDependency>();
         this.session = system.getSession();
         
         File pom = new File(path);
         Model model = system.loadPom(pom, session);

         ArtifactTypeRegistry stereotypes = session.getArtifactTypeRegistry();

         // store all dependency information to be able to retrieve versions later
         for (org.apache.maven.model.Dependency dependency : model.getDependencies())
         {
            MavenDependency d = MavenConverter.fromDependency(dependency, stereotypes);
            pomInternalDependencyManagement.put(new ArtifactAsKey(d.getCoordinates()), d);
         }
      }
   }
}
{code}

But you have to make the inner class static or would have the error {{non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a static context}}.

> It would be handy to have a shortcut for including maven artifacts, something along the lines of 
> MavenArtifact.resolve(Coordinate.of("joda-time", "joda-time", "1.6")).as(GenericArchive.class) or 
> MavenArtifact.resolve("joda-time:joda-time:1.6").as(GenericArchive.class) or
> Maven.artifact("joda-time:joda-time:1.6")
