Right, my example in the last email made the entire dependency node an
external entity,
they recommend only the artifactId, groupId, version, and url in the entity
declaration as in:
<!ENTITY dep-junit "
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<url>http://www.junit.org</url>
">
so that this is then possible:
<dependency>&dep-junit;
<properties>
<war.bundle>true</war.bundle>
</properties>
</dependency>

Prior to a vote, let me ask on the maven-user list if using external
entities will be forward compatible with Maven 2, unless anyone already
knows?
