Ok, then I would be happy to hear how this works in Eclipse?

Let's say that org.apache.felix.flycatcher needs jakarta-commons-net, some 
particular version, to compile, test and/or run and the commons-net jar will 
become part of the bundle. Where is the commons-net being referenced, and how 
does it end up on the developers machine? Perhaps I have missed some really 
cool features in Eclipse.

Ok, to me it came across as "unreasonably hard" changes to Maven. I must have 
misunderstood and glad that has been clarified.

Personally, I had a look at Peter Kriens BND system and I liked it a lot. It 
allows each party to share a fairly neutral resource, whether you are/prefer 
an Eclipse or IDEA plugin, commandline, Ant task or Maven plugin.
