How can you display the Maven dependency tree for

问题:

A common Maven debugging technique is to use mvn dependency:tree to view the graph of project dependencies.

However, this list shows the project dependencies, not the plugin dependency tree for each plugin. Is there some way to do this from a project?

回答1:

The output via mvn -X will printout the information indirectly. Currently there is no other option to get the dependencies of a Maven-Plugin.

Update You can use the following command to get a list of plugin dependencies (resolve-plugin goal from dependencies plugin):

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10:resolve-plugins

The shorter version is (and it is a bad habit to specify plugin versions)

mvn dependency:resolve-plugins
