[jira] Commented: (MDEP-144) Add mojos to copy/unpack dependencies specified by POMs

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-144?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_123964 ] 

Brian Fox commented on MDEP-144:
--------------------------------

I just added a new filter to maven-common-artifact-filters that does exactly what you ask. I need it for another plugin, but intend to pull it to mdep also.

> It would be cool if there were mojos that can read dependencies from other POM files. This would allow to handle dependencies that are external to the current project and not known in advance.
> The user would feed in a directory (with includes/excludes) which the plugin would scan for POMs. For every POM, the plugin gets direct/transitive dependencies of scope x and copies/unpacks them.
