I hadn't thought about that. I could look into maven-dep-tree and see if I can determine what is doing the optimisation (ie removing B->C) and provide another method that allows the optimisation to be switched off. But it's adding another method to the mdt DependencyResolver interface - I've already added one in the last month :-). It's likely to be the only consumer of the new method. And it feels a little clunky as I am still resolving deps for A and then walking the graph until I find B to get B's deps. I would much rather just resolve deps for Artifact B. But to do that I need to be able to convert Artifact B into MavenProject B. Surely there has to be a way of doing that. Someone?
