if you want the individual component jars then use guice-plexus-shim
and it will have the appropriate dependencies
however, you will end up with a lot of small jars so for convenience
the sisu-inject-* projects assemble the modules into a single bundle
along with OSGi metadata - the dependencies for this are adjusted
so you won't get duplicates of all the contained modules
this makes it easier to deploy and update the jars on platforms such
as OSGi where the modules form a logical group that should always
be updated at the same time

think of this as the equivalent of having small sub-projects which
are then assembled into a larger WAR file - it's exactly the same
except here we use the bundle-plugin to do the assembly instead
of the assembly-plugin
