Maven Ant Task: How to reference other dependencies?

[Rick Mann]

I'd like to specify only one "master" list of dependencies for  
several targets in my build.xml. I'm creating a webapp, so there's a  
place for "compile", "test", "runtime" and "provided" scopes.

The problem I seem to face is that I have to specify "useScope" on a  
per-dependency list basis. So, there's no way for my compile task to  
reference the master dependency list for useScope="compile", and for  
my file copy tasks to reference the *same* master dependency list for  
useScope="runtime", and for my test tasks to do the same for  
useScope="test".

However, I could be misunderstanding it all. In any case, I don't  
want to specify multiple lists, because that ends up increasing he  
maintenance workload and the possibility of introducing errors. I  
mean, I suppose I could do it, but I'd like to find a way so that  
each list has mutually-exclusive dependencies in it. (Hmmm...maybe I  
should just try it).

Part of the problem is how to avoid including all the transitive  
dependencies' out-of-scope items?

Is there any way for me to say:

        <artifact:dependencies       pathId="list1">
                
                <remoteRepository refid="km.repository"/>
                <remoteRepository refid="main.repository"/>
                
		<dependency	groupId="javax.activation"		artifactId="activation"				 
version="1.0.2"		scope="runtime"/>
		<dependency	groupId="commons-beanutils"		artifactId="commons- 
beanutils-core"	version="1.7.0"		scope="compile"/>
        </artifact:dependencies>

        <artifact:dependencies pathId="list2">
                
                <include stuff in list 1/>
                <include stuff in list 1 for useScope="foo"/>
        </artifact:dependencies>


Thanks!
