Dynamic dependencies?

["Lewis, Eric" <Er...@ipi.ch>]

Hi

I have a bit of a special problem. I want to use a Maven wrapper around
an existing Eclipse PDE build, and this must be again deployed as
Webstart application.

Now, I can call the PDE build, and it builds its stuff under
target/deploy/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-${timestamp}/,
and this directory has two subdirectories: features and plugins, which
contains a lot of built JARs.
I've used the Webstart plugin before, and it handles declared
dependencies well. However, I need to keep the features/plugins
structure (if possible), and I need to unsign all JARs and then resign
them with my key.
This would work if all the JARs were declared as dependencies in my POM
(system dependencies, since they're not in my repository), but first of
all, the PDE build is a black box from my build's point of view, and
second the Eclipse developers don't want to synchronize all dependencies
in Maven and PDE.

So, I think I need something that builds a dynamic dependencies list
from several existing JARs. I guess that's the only solution, but
perhaps someone has a better idea?
Anyway, is there a plugin that solves my problem? It would basically
read a couple of directories and define all JARs in there as system
dependencies.

Best regards,
Eric
