I tried that, but it doesn't seem to work? I just get long lists of
compile errors saying "can't find symbol".

Basically what I did was take a (compiling, working) project with a
list of dependencies and copy them all to a new project of type POM
like you suggested as well and then I added a single dependency to the
original project

<dependency>
   <groupId>test.group</groupId>
   <artifactId>dependencies</artifactId>
   <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
   <scope>compile</scope>
   <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

But now the compiler doesn't seem to "see" any of the dependencies-
