Extend Dependency Class or Dependecies in runtime

[Laura Hinojosa <lh...@objectwave.com>]

I'm developing a new plug-in to deploy artifacts using auto deploy and I need to pass in the POM additional information per each dependency. 
 
Is there a way to change the Dependency class to accept more variables than just groupId, artifactId and version (and scope and type)?  I need to add my own, like <appCode> or <properties> or something else.
 
Right now I have a separate section to add this information, but I have to repeat the groupId, artifactId and version per each dependency and I will like to have them only in one section.
 
My first idea was to add those variables in the dependency section, is that possible?? I'm thinking something like a new packaging?
 
My second idea was to add the dependencies in a separate section and add them and resolve them in run time
 
Any ideas will be appreciated
 
Thank you
