I've been working on building geronimo using the packaging and
assembly plugins. This works fine except for the unmanageable
dependencies. The project for the assemby plugin to work on
currently needs to include in the project.xml every jar to go into
the assembly's repository. Tracking these is impossible.
We need some way for a configuration or even a plain dependency to
instruct the assembly plugin to copy the artifacts dependencies
into the repository.
One possibility is to use maven poms. IIUC Dain is working on
integrating or imitating the latest maven repository management
code. Will this give us transitive dependencies?
Yes :)
I'm going to start working on this as soon as I get back to the states.
