Does Maven provide a mechanism for documenting/specifying compatible 
artifacts across groups in a repository?

For example, the struts distribution bundles a number of jars from jakarta 
commons.  This implies that the struts jar/runtime depends on particular 
versions of the commons jars, but if I am putting struts into my local 
repository for the first time I have to split up this grouping into it's 
constituents, thus losing the implicit documentation of strut's 
dependencies.  Now when I come back in a year's time to create a new 
project which uses struts, I have to figure out the compatible jars from 
scratch.  Is there anything in Maven to help me with this problem?

Thanks,
James.
