turning the dependency information in the POM into plugin metadata which described the dependencies of the plugin.

We are looking at using Mercury for the resolution and retrieval of the plugin dependencies so during development we would translate the POMs into dependency information that Mercury can understand, and in production we would have the pre-digested format that Mercury could utilize to resolve and retrieve dependencies. We need to be careful that we are using Mercury during development...
