Hey All,

[If you get something like six copies of this pleas forgive me. I'm having
a heck of a time posting today.]

This one is whacky...

I've got a project that has three sub-projects. We'll call them A, B and C
just for grins.

Now...
Project A creates a jarfile (cleverly named A.jar)
To create that jar, A/project.xml lists a bunch of dependencies.
Anyone using that jar needs *some* of those dependencies at runtime.

Which brings us to...
Project B creates an earfile (uncreatively named B.ear) of EJBs
B depends on A.jar at compiletime, so A.jar is in project.xml and is
marked with ear.bundle.jar == true.
At runtime, the earfile also needs to have the runtime-required files on
which A.jar depends.

Finally...
Project C is a simple webapp that doesn't know diddly about A and only
uses the client-side jarfile from B.

Where I'm going with this is that in B/project.xml I've had to copy/paste
a bunch of the dependencies in A/project.xml and add ear.bundle.jar ==
true. I've heard something about project.xml actually being a jelly script
and, thus, executable. Can someone suggest a clever way for B/project.xml
to magically "import" the proper dependencies from A/project.xml? (I don't
mind adding ear.bundle.jar or some other property to the appropriate
dependencies of B/project.xml if necessary.)

Thanks,
J
