dependencies- a higher level of declaration needed?
I have a project that uses FOP and tapestry.
FOP requires 12+ jars, along with tapestry that takes
quite a few.
Luckily for me, I found the pdf plugin and just copied
the depencencies from that project.xml into my own.
However, there are a myriad of different projects that
come with a glyph of dependent jars that the authors
themselves are best able to declare the dependencies
for.
I wish there were a way for me to just declare that I
have a dependency on "fop" 0.20.5 and I would
automagically get those other dependencies.
Likewise, I would like to be able to override the
default dependencies. So I can in my project use
0.20.5 of FOP but use a "unsupported" newer release of
xerces or xalan.
Just a observation;)
Thanks.

It's called transitive dependencies and it is coming post-1.0.
