-------------------------------------------------

Or even to be able to wildcard on the groupid:
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
			<artifactId>*</artifactId>
			<version>2.4.5</version>
		</dependency>

> I'd love to have the option of wildcards in dependency management.  When you're working with a lot of dependencies that share a common version, it's really irritating to have to add each one to the dependency management.
> For instance:
> {code:xml}
> <dependencyManagement>
>   <dependencies>
>     <dependency>
>       <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
>       <artifactId>spring-*</artifactId>
>       <version>2.5.4</version>
>     </dependency>
>   </dependencies>
> </dependencyManagement>
> {code}
> Instead of:
> {code:xml}
> <properties>
> 	<springVersion>2.5.4</springVersion>
> </properties>
> <dependencyManagement>
> 	<dependencies>
> 		<dependency>
> 			<groupId>com.feedroom.feedroom-commons</groupId>
> 			<artifactId>common</artifactId>
> 			<version>1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
> 		</dependency>
> 		<dependency>
> 			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
> 			<artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
> 			<version>${springVersion}</version>
> 		</dependency>
> 		<dependency>
> 			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
> 			<artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
> 			<version>${springVersion}</version>
> 		</dependency>
> 		<dependency>
> 			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
> 			<artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
> 			<version>${springVersion}</version>
> 		</dependency>
> 		<dependency>
> 			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
> 			<artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
> 			<version>${springVersion}</version>
> 		</dependency>
> 		<dependency>
> 			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
> 			<artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
> 			<version>${springVersion}</version>
