Ralph started an implementation but we found some issues with it at ApacheCon. I don't think it's gotten beyond that yet. You can use dependency management or properties to deal with omitting the dependencies. I personally never assume what will be contained in a reactor and structure my builds so that any module can always be built in isolation. Therefore, I can't see why you would want to omit the dependency for something in a reactor that may not be in the reactor all the time.
