  project
- nice little sample projects that could be run in the core as well as integration tests

All Possible Errors
- invalid lifecycle phase (maybe same as bad CLI param, though you were talking about embedder too)
- <module> specified is not found
- malformed settings
- malformed POM
- local repository not writable
- remote repositories not available
- artifact metadata missing
- extension metadata missing
