War files & dependency chains

[Kris Nuttycombe]

Okay, here's my problem. I've browsed through the mailing list archives 
but somehow haven't been able to figure out a solution.

I use a lot of Jakarta and Apache code building web applications. A 
number of the packages I depend upon, such as Struts and Torque, have 
large lists of dependencies of their own.  Do I have to manually add all 
of those dependencies (and so on, and so on) to the dependencies list of 
my project.xml file to be able to get them added to my warfile?

I know that this sort of thing is a classic programming problem, but 
isn't this the sort of thing that Maven is designed to solve? All of the 
dependencies I use have poms available that
specify what packages they themselves depend upon - it doesn't seem like 
it should be that great of a leap to somehow include them in the war!

Thanks for your help,
Kris
