Plugin Documentation

Goals available for this plugin:

GoalDescription
graph:condensed

This mojo lays out the dependency graph in condensed mode.

Each dependency appears on the graph once. Graphviz algorithms present the connections between the dependencies as a directed hierarchical graph.

graph:conflicts

This mojo displays any dependencies where conflict resolution has taken place.

Maven supports the resolution of artifact versions by way of nearest-wins. That is, for any set of dependencies sharing the same [groupId]:[artifactId]:[type]:[classifier], the one declared nearest to the current project in the dependency tree is selected for use.

graph:flat

This mojo lays out the dependency graph in the same order they are defined in the pom's.

This style can make it easier to comprehend the dependency tree but the graph will have more nodes on it.
