We can work on prototyping this feature in Forge. This is within the forge
Vision, but needs to be done carefully. Maven has some tools for getting
information about a project's dependencies and deliverables. See the
MavenDependencyFacet and RepositoryLookup classes. The MavenSystemSession
class in RepositoryLookup has methods for reading a project POM. Perhaps we
could leverage those. Although, wouldn't this kind of Export better be
handled by the test framework itself, since it is already classloading
everything?

Not only do you need access to the method you need the full classpath
initialized for the project for it work.

yeah, Dan asked the same for eclipse tooling and I don't really have a good
answer beyond creating an isolated classloader
that loads the users full classpath and execute (optimally under a security
manager to avoid too many accidents).
