boilerplate is a geronimo plugin, and the car-maven-plugin generates a
geronimo-plugin.xml for it.
Therefore when it is installed into an assembly (usually the first
plugin :-) all the dependencies listed in geronimo-plugin.xml get
installed in the geronimo repo.
So including the dependencies you need for gshell in the boilerplate's
pom would get them into the geronimo repo. As I said transitive
dependencies don't result in inclusion at the moment for rather good
reasons. I don't know what the <include> tag would do but it's
probably worth investigating.

I can hack something up (with the assembly + antrun plugins) but
I'm wondering if there is a better way. I'd like to not have a
ton of pom config to list all of the gshell required dependencies,
just use mvn's transitive deps to populate the repository/* with
the bits that gshell needs.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Right now our transitive dependencies are sufficiently confused so
that the car-maven-plugin ignores them when figuring out the
geronimo dependencies for a plugin. So, the boilerplate plugin pom
explicitly lists the jars it wants to get into the geronimo repo.
I'm afraid including transitive dependencies may not be consistent
with our classloader graph approach compared to plexus's one giant
classloader approach. I havent' thought about it in detail.
Maybe we can use the mvn 2.0.9 include pom element to allow for
cribbing depenendencies from one maven project into another?
