Actually analyze-build is still confusing because it could imply that it
is building, which it isn't. How about analyze-only?

So analyze will still work the same as alpha-3 and JustAnalyze becomes
analyze-build? That works for me.

Right.. :)  It would be good to have a naming convention for these
type of goals since it seems to be a common requirement.  So the two
types are:

1) standalone use
2) participating within the build lifecycle

How about the normal goal name for (1) and a '-build' suffix for (2)?
This would give us dependency:analyze and dependency:analyze-build.  I
think this is more intuitive than the 'just-' prefix version.  We
won't break compatibility with the previous release since JustAnalyze
was introduced after 2.0-alpha-4.

Cheers,

Mark
