1) Create a project with a library dependency
2) create another project that depends on the first project
3) build the project created in stage 2

the resulting distribution contains the jar file for the project created in stage 1, but not the library 
dependencies for that project. This makes the (very useful) distribution packaging of dependencies 
useless for multi-project projects.

A work-around is to add every library dependency of every sub-project to the final build project, but this 
is very error prone and awkward.
