I like the syntax that you chose using "includes" and "excludes" containing a comma separated list of "[groupId]:[artifactId]:[type]:[version]". To me this is more intuitive than separate fields for artifactIds, groupIds, and classifiers.

Although I would maybe add [classifier] also.

I've no issues with using excludes and not exclude

of course the big issue I see is that all the goals in
maven-dependency-plugin have different properties doing exactly the
same thing!

I have to say I like your syntax, as gives a way to specify a complete
set with one execution.

the other syntaxes are not as flexible....

I guess I'm just looking for some "standard" way and a "standard name"
for these "standard" ways

The dependency:tree goal was written independently from the rest of
the maven-dependency-plugin and added later, hence the discrepancy.
I'm obviously biased as I also prefer my syntax :)  Perhaps see what
everyone else thinks and then we can move to a standard syntax.
