Looks good Mauro. Thanks.

My only comment is about the "category" addition to a dependency. Can you
explain the usage of this with an example? My impression was that the form
of copying out of the "jars" directory should not be done, and instead use
${dependency.path}, to allow for jar overrides.

Cheers,
Brett
