Yuo hit the nail on the head earlier, that transitive dependencies
made the properties problematic.

I think the default bundling is ok, and then something like:
<configuration>
<excludedDependencies>
<excludedDependency>groupId:artifactId</excludedDependency>
...
</excludedDependencies>
</configuration>
We could add some tools to help filter an artifact list by a list of
"groupId:artifactId" strings.

Some of this is getting quite complicated to define in the above way,
and if you look at the Geronimo Maven1 POM's you'll see that listing
it on the dependencies starts to get quite confusing also. It's hard
to get a single view of what sets these properties define.
The alternative I took with the assembly plugin was to build a
separate descriptor. It may be worth doing this for some plugins.
I'd keep pushing that the defaults for a plugin should cover as many
use cases as possible so the amount of configuration needed is
minimal.

Yes, we're still working out some issues with conversion between the
two repos, but we will then start populating both.
