> We strip versions off of dependencies we package in the lib directory of our tarball. This is done for a few beneficial reasons (primarily: avoid classpath polution with multiple versions of the same jar, and ease maintenance of scripts that configure the classpath).
> However, it would be convenient to convey information in the bin.tar.gz about which versions of those libraries are included, so they don't have to go spelunking into the jars' META-INF to peek at their POM, or back to SCM to view the dependencyManagement section.
> It looks like this might be relatively easy to do with an execution of maven-dependency-plugin's list goal, with includeScope set to runtime and outputFile set.
