How can you display the Maven dependency tree for the *plugins* in your project?
The output via mvn -X will printout the information indirectly. Currently there is no other option to get the dependencies of a Maven-Plugin.
UpdateYou 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-pluginsThe shorter version is (and it is a bad habit to specify plugin versions)
mvn dependency:resolve-plugins
If you are using any IDE like IDEA IntelliJ or Eclipse:
- You can add this below plugin in your pom.xml
- Once done, On the Maven window (on the right of IDE), you will find a new plugin called asDependencies
- Expand that and you will see the dependency:tree goal, double clickon it and run it, you should see the full dependency tree
Plugin to be added in POM:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>1.8</source> <target>1.8</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins></build>
