No it means that the project depends on the classes in the "/delfos-ejb"
project.
(I don't know why the "kind" attribute is "src", I take the
<classpathentry> from the file generated by eclipse)

Yes, you are right we can end with project descriptors like:
<dependency><property><plugin.specific.1>... <plugin.specific.2>

This looks ugly, because the project descriptor is making some
assumptions about the plug-ins applied to the project. But I don't know
if there is a good solution to fully decouple the project descriptor
from the plug-ins.

Is there a way to tell Maven that a dependency is not a JAR file?
