if this is done with a classifier or just a change in extension, then it would 
complicate the system to create a new POM.

Is anything in the POM changed other than the dependencies?

If it is just that, I'd like to ehance the current feature in the artifact 
handler that blocks transitive dependencies to become a filter out dependencies 
included in the archive but keep the rest as transitive. This could be 
information built into the JAR?

 We need a way to deploy aggregate JARs produced by the assembly plug-in. Some 
 things to consider:
 1) A new POM will need to be created to reflect the contents of the aggregate 
 JAR
 2) Do we want a standard name or classifier for these aggregate JARs, one 
 standard name might not be enough as different assemblies for the same 
 project might contain slightly different things.
 3) Do we want assemblies like this to be in their own builds? Right now the 
 J2EE JAR in the Geronimo build is like this whereas the assembly for the 
 embedder is part of the embedder build. Would separating the build make it 
 easier to deploy? Maybe.

We are going to have to do some legwork at the front-end or at the back-end. I 
think making a POM that actually represents what's in the JAR is a more simple 
approach and less confusing to users. If you looked at the POM for the embedder 
all-in-one JAR you wouldn't expect any dependencies. I think this would also 
more closely match the way someone not building with Maven would approach the 
situation: they would simply make JAR which aggregate anything desired and then 
create a POM to match. I don't think trying to use the same POM really makes 
sense here. I would say do the leg work up front and let people use the 
artifact as a simple JAR dependency.

We also have the information at hand in the assembly descriptor to accurate 
make the POM up front. What if the assembly wasn't a complete closure of all 
dependencies? Then the artifact handler gets even more complicated, or we're 
hunting around in JAR for special hinting.
