Q:Automatic dependency setup

[Alexi Polenur <ap...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

I am using Maven first time as a build tool for my
project. I really like it a lot.

I have following question. I found it really time
consuming to create dependecies entries in
project.xml.

Is it possible to automaticaly configure some of
dependencies ? 

What I mean by that is following. 

Let say my project depends on Hibernate. So I would go
and manually add Hibernate entry to my project
dependencies in project.xml. It its turn Hibernate
depends on a lot of other jars. If I have Hiberante's
project.xml in Ibiblio repository it seams it should
be possible for Maven to automaticaly configure my
project to depend on all projects which Hibernate
depends on using dependencies entry in Hibernate's
project.xml

Is it possible to achieve this behaviour now ? If not
is there a plans to do it in the future ?

Thanks a lot, Alexi

Yes, we have this feature in maven2 and it will be backported to maven1.
Look for transitive dependencies in the mail archives.
