If they are not dependencies of the project, then what are they? They do have
some relation to the project because they are needed in order to build, so I'm
just wondering where they fit in. Would it be reasonable to add a parameter to
the dependency plugin's resolve and tree goals to also include the parent poms?

Both of those goals require Maven to do the dependency resolution, which
means the parent poms will already be resolved at that point. Strictly
speaking, the parents are not dependencies of the projects as we are
looking only at binary artifacts. Getting the parent poms is out of the
scope of those goals IMO.

Subject: Resolving parent poms in the dependency tree
I noticed that the dependency plugin currently does not include parent
poms when
generating the dependency tree (MDEP-167) or when calling
dependency:resolve.
Is the exclusion of the parent poms by design or is this something that
just
hasn't been implemented yet? I would like to have a way to print out
all the
dependencies of my project (including poms, plugins, etc.) but currently
I think
the only way to do this is to start with a clean repository, and then
look at
the contents after a build was run.
Long term, what is the best way to handle this? I didn't see any
current way in
the maven artifact resolution API to get a list of dependencies that
include
parent poms. Does it make sense to add something like this?
Thanks!
