The way it's supposed to work is:

 - You add a RAR with no Geronimo plan to the repository, e.g. using
the Common Libs screen
 - You create a JMS resource group, selecting that as the vendor RAR
 - You deploy the resource group from the portlet, or have it generate
a plan and you manually deploy the RAR with that plan (using the
command-line deploy tool, the console Deploy New screen, etc.)

So the plan shouldn't need any dependencies -- all the JARs should be
in the RAR.  And you don't want the RAR to have a plan in it to begin
with because they whole point of this exercise is to create the plan.

Thanks,
