I have often wished for the ability to simply and easily refer to a group of
dependencyManagement entries with one element. Going hand-in-hand with this
would of course be the ability to group and name such groups within the
dependencyManagement section.
Make a small set of aggregation POMs that build the library JARs that
most applications use.
This centralizes the choice of version and makes it easy to specify the
dependencies in application modules since you may only have to specify 5
or 6 dependencies to pick up 50-60 3rd party and internal libraries.
In those projects, you set the scope of the aggregated JARs to
"provided" and then provide those libraries at run-time. This makes your
war files much smaller and your builds much quicker.

So, making this up:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencyGroup>
<id>persistence-dependencies</id>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.openjpa</groupId>
<artifactId>openjpa</artifactId>
<version>${openJpaVersion}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
<version>${eclipseLinkVersion}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa</artifactId>
<version>${eclipseLinkVersion}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>org.eclipse.persistence.core</artifactId>
<version>${eclipseLinkVersion}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
<version>${hibernateVersion}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<version>${hibernateVersion}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencyGroup>
</dependencyManagement>
Then, in a sub-pom:
<dependencies>
<dependencyGroup>
<id>persistence-dependencies</id>
</dependencyGroup>
</dependencies>
Otherwise, lots of copying and pasting happens!
Best,
Laird
