Dependency management and embedded Glassfish

Hi,

the embedded Glassfish is provided as huge uber jar. But wouldn't it be
possible to provide it as POM with all required dependencies? This
approach would allow to avoid dependency problems as I am facing them
now. Sometimes the version of classes contained in embedded Glassfish
differ from the dependecies required or provided by other libraries.

SLF4J, ASM, and Joda time are some examples. The POM approach would at
least allow to analyse the dependencies of embedded Glassfish.

Best,

Oliver
