             Summary: The plugin provides more flexibility in determining the subsystem manifest
                 Key: ARIES-1490
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-1490
             Project: Aries
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: ESA Maven Plugin
    Affects Versions: esa-maven-plugin-1.0.0
            Reporter: Wouter Bancken


When determining which dependencies are included in the archive, the ESA maven plugin provides different possibilities as to which dependencies are included in the archive (transitive dependencies vs only direct dependencies). 

When generating the subsystem manifest, the plugin always decides to only list the direct dependencies and therefore it does not include the transitive dependencies as part of the subsystem content even though they are present in the archive.

Additionally, the type of the dependencies (e.g. 'pom') is not taken into account. This makes it impossible to extract a sequence of related dependencies into a separate pom file to improve the overall readability. The readability would improve greatly if a related set of dependencies could be imported from another pom.
