Description

currently add-features-to-repo only copy dependencies artifacts from local maven repo, so we have to add all need dependency into pom.xml.
This is painful especially if we use some features descriptor from other project and there are same artifacts dependency with different versions, the features-maven-plugin should be able to parse the features.xml and download the artifacts automatically, so that avoid adding each dependency into pom.xml
