[MINVOKER-309] In-process execution without forking

**[Michael Boyles](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=michaelboyles)** opened **[MINVOKER-309](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINVOKER-309?redirect=false)** and commented

The FAQ has a statement from a long time ago (15 years), but there appears to be no related ticket:

_"it is hoped that soon we will integrate the Maven Embedder into the mix to allow you run your projects in process for great speed."_

Is this still the hope? Perhaps gains from not forking are expected to be minimal and it's no longer worth pursuing. Functionally, it was suggested as a workaround for MINVOKER-222

If this is desirable, is Maven Embedder still the way to go? According to a comment on MINVOKER-222 "{_}I'm not sure maven-embedder can be used in a plugin context{_}".

Any other thoughts welcome

Start with the FAQ statement about Maven Embedder and read the discussion in MINVOKER-222. Determine whether in-process execution is still desired, whether Maven Embedder can work in a plugin context, and what scope an implementation would require. Done means reaching a documented decision or an agreed implementation plan.
