How to manage a custom connector dependencies using maven
Hello,
I'm using maven 3 to build connectors I've cooked on my own. I know BonitaBPM studio eases a lot the process of writing new connectors, but among other reasons I want to avoid the transitive pain of having to import jars after jars when I'm depending on external libraries ...
At the time I write this question I manage to build a working connector, but I'm still ending scratching my head to resolve some of the dependencies needed at runtime.
Even importing the whole result of mvn dependencies:copy-dependencies sometime fails.
I've noticed that the .impl file is able to define a set of dependencies to be embeded ...
How does that work ? How can I make maven deliver a self suffient .zip ? Is this .impl file supposed to help me ?
Please, show me the way.
Thanks,

It appears that not all dependencies are gathered when resolving the $dependencies$ alias on build. I double checked the scope of declaration for every single dependency entry.
