Usage

 Maven Runtime allows introspection of Maven project metadata at runtime.  The main entry point is the
 {{{./apidocs/org/apache/maven/shared/runtime/MavenRuntime.html}MavenRuntime}} Plexus component.  The following example 
 describes the basic usage of the component:

---
/**
 * @component
 */
private MavenRuntime runtime;

public void printProjects() throws MavenRuntimeException
{
    ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
    
    for ( MavenProjectProperties properties : runtime.getProjectsProperties( classLoader ) )
    {
        System.out.println( properties );
    }
}
---

 This method will display the group id, artifact id and version of every Maven project within the current thread's
 context class loader.
