[Question] Determine available artifact version given the IProject or pom IFile

[BoykoAlex]

Is there a way with m2e core to compute all versions of an artifact (a dependency artifact) available for a project? Version of an artifact available for the project would reside in an artifact repository specified in the pom or maven central.

I thought I'd go with IMaven.readProject(File, IProgressMonitor) but then i have to deal with org.apache.maven.project.MavenProject which isn't made visible... Same goes to ArtifactRepository which seem to have the function I'd like to use, namely: List<String> findVersions(Artifact artifact);

I found org.eclipse.m2e.core.ui.internal.search.util.SearchEngine interface but could find any concrete implementation of it. Besides depending on UI bundles isn't a great idea for me since I'd like to use that code from the Language Server side.

Anything you could recommend or give some pointers?

Thanks in advance!

I don't understand that part. What do you mean specifically here?

@mickaelistria NVM :-) I had MavenProject and other artifacts from org.apache.maven unresolved... however, adding a plugin dependency on org.eclipse.m2e.maven.runtime makes them available... I've realized this after asking this question. I think i have everything i need to get all available versions for an artifact...
