+1 for the m-dependency-p

Ancestors are dependencies, you cannot build a project without its
parent... You just don't reference them in a dependencies section is all!

I think it actually would suit perfectly in dependency:tree (esp when you
consider that crazy people can and do put dependencies in parent projects
in order to inject them into all children)

Good points, Stephen. As ancestors are not dependencies, I would prefer to
enhance the help plugin instead. Ccing this to maven-dev

My concern is that the versions plugin has become a catch-all-grab-bag.

I want to consolidate its functionality and reduce the number of goals
and options that people need to use it.

This is adding a new goal. The goal itself does not say anything about
whether there are updates available (and it should not really as the only update in an ancestor that you can achieve on the pom you are looking at is
the immediate parent.

I think this might suit better beside dependency:tree or
help:effective-pom where the plugins are not concerned with either
comparing versions of things against the available versions or updating
versions of things.

Hello Stephen,

what do you think about adding this? I have already a working
implementation at

https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/branches/mfriedenhagen/versions-maven-plugin-display-ancestors
with an IT and would like to merge this back to trunk.

See svn diff
https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/mojo/versions-maven-plugin

https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/branches/mfriedenhagen/versions-maven-plugin-display-ancestors
for the diff.

Regards
Mirko
