Externalizing POM dependencies as entities may help with this.
The specifics of the jar + version could be maintained in a central location
(dependency entities file).
The pom for each component would have a declaration & dependency section
like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY % dependencies SYSTEM "file:../[somepath]/dependencies.ent">
%dependencies;
]>
...
<dependencies>
&dep-commons-digester;
&dep-commons-lang;
</dependencies>

The wiki has more detailed information, such as when war bundle is true,
etc.
