dependencies of dependencies

["Ebersole, Steven" <st...@vignette.com>]

Just wondering if there is a way through maven to better manage the dependencies of my project's dependencies.

For example, say I have a project whose deliverable/artifact is a war and further say I have utilized the <properties><war.bundle>true</war.bundle></properties> on any number of the dependencies I have defined for that project.  If those dependencies in turn have dependencies (especially of the run-time variety) it would be nice for the war plugin to pull those "extended" dependencies in along with the explicit dependencies.  As it is, I instead have to manually add dependency definitions to my project for those "extended" dependencies.

Is there a way to get maven to pull in those "extended" dependencies automagically during build?  Just curious...

Thanks,
Steve
