Two things needed for this I think.

1) Record JVM requirements in the POM. Unsure if Maven does this yet, I've
not found anything about it online.

2) Upload POMs to repositories so that dependencies of dependencies may be
placed in the jar. Or created as a README.

Otherwise, it's a good build mechanism and would hopefully replace the
combo ant scripts.

Unsure. I think we'd still use it as a tool to release something. The
users who most want a combo-jar are not hte users who want to sit and
define their own POMs etc.
