[Andrew Rubinger (Created) (JIRA)]

Create "Library Dependency" module
----------------------------------

                 Key: SHRINKWRAP-360
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-360
             Project: ShrinkWrap
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: ext-resolver
            Reporter: Andrew Rubinger


Also called a "A-BOM" in EAP, or "depchain" in AS, this POM aggregates dependencies for a project, in the right scope, in one view:

For instance:

{code}foo-api
foo-impl

foo
  dep:
    foo-api (compile)
    foo-impl (runtime){code}

In this case, "foo" would be the module we're looking to create.  A user then makes a dependency upon this POM in two places: one as a standard dependency, and once as "import" scope in depMgt (in order to honor exclusions).

An example of this in use is:

https://github.com/ALRubinger/jboss-as-test-example/blob/master/pom.xml#L128
https://github.com/ALRubinger/jboss-as-test-example/blob/master/pom.xml#L156

In the example above we have the dep on the AS7 API in two places as required; in turn the AS7 API POM exports out transitives as we need.
