Okay, I will give it a shot on trunk first, if that works I will try
on branches/2.1.

Why do the assemblies in the repository have dependencies? I

The reason I think they should be, is that when a user wants to use
the geronimo-maven-plugin with the assembly -bin in the repository,
before they can even download the assembly -bin, first mvn has to
go resolve every single dependency which is used to build that
assembly -bin.
I think this is broken, while I can resolve by adding a tone of
excludes, I think that this problem should be solved so that users
can more easily consume the assembly artifacts we publish to the
repository.
Any one know how easy/feasible with the current stuff (trunk and
2.1.x) it would be to mark all dependencies as provided?
Just thinking about it I don't see why it would cause problems.
Would you like to try it and see if the server at least builds? If
there are no obvious problems I'd be fine with this change.
thanks
