"Transitive dependencies: they are a liability." Groan...this post has got to be a joke. Transitive dependencies are a reality in all Java projects. When I want to add Hibernate to my project, I'd much rather add a single dependency to my POM and have Maven sort 'em out than individually add the 2 dozen or so required by hibernate.
At least it's one way to resolve conflicts between different versions of the same lib in your build path.
