There is no facility yet. But we've talked about it for a long time and
we do have working code for it in experimental versions of Maven but the
real crux of the problem is collecting POMs in the repositories so we
can build the necessary graphs. In this way you would only have to state
the compile time dependencies and the runtime dependencies would be
calculated.
Not something that is going to make it into 1.0.

Are you trying to assemble a container runtime?
