Just to clarify...
Ideally I think it would be best if Gradle itself just transparently
handled project(':hibernate-core') as a configuration dependency to mean
"use the sourceSet as dep" but still generated the upload poms
correctly.
But it does not do that currently. Mainly I did this to get (imo)
better compilation plans. Currently, say you define the dep as just the
project. When you compile, gradle will need to not only comp[ile the
dep, but also run its jar task to generate the jar to be the target of
the dep. The strategy below gets around the need to jar.
