You are correct; maven is the tool that uses those pom.xml files to 
track what is needed. Unfortantly reading
the pom.xml files yourself is not really a solution; because sometimes a 
library we use (like geoapi) will depend
on another library (like jrs-108.jar).

To use maven to figure out what is needed:
- go into the source directory of the module you want (say shapefile)
- mvn help:effective-pom > file.txt
- open up file.txt and look at the dependency section, those are the 
jars you need to import (into say eclipse)
- also some jars need at least one plug-in to function; gt2-referencing 
needs gt2-epsg-hsql.jar for example.

Sometimes Martin is nice and publishes a "maven site" which boils down 
all this information into a web site
you can browse around to see what is needed...
