The first obvious thing is definitely to look at the Psychic Warrior. Psychic Warrior is a psionics version of the Magus, which is basically a melee caster. They are fully capable of combat and you can take the "Infiltrator" path to get access to Metamorphosis.
That stated, if you really want to go "full Psion melee Metamorph", I would actually consider ...

The 3.5 third-party book Hyperconscious is generally very well-received by Psionics fans, and does offer a version of Psionic Combat for 3.5. But I think it’s optional and it’s not the part of the book that I hear people rave about, so I’m not sure how good it actually is. Better than the 3.0 version, at the very least, it seems.

Egoists can certainly go into melee
After all, modifying yourself is what psychometabolism is all about. Metamorphosis of various levels, empathic transfer, hustle, psychofeedback, fission, and fusion are pretty good discipline powers for this. Off the main list, vigor is phenomenal, share pain is definitely not bad (and even great if you share it with a ...
