----------------------------------------
Sure thing, new PR:
[https://github.com/apache/maven-dependency-analyzer/pull/20]
> Expose which dependency classes are used and where
> --------------------------------------------------

> Key: MSHARED-632
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-632
> Project: Maven Shared Components
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: maven-dependency-analyzer

> We use the maven-dependency-plugin to analyze dependencies and fail our build
> if there are any used undeclared or unused declared dependencies. In the case
> of used undeclared dependencies, it is often helpful to know which classes
> are being used and where they are being used. We've found a few workarounds
> to make this a little easier, but the plugin has access to this information
> so what we really want is for the plugin to just print this info along with
> each used undeclared dependency. We've made this change in our fork and our
> developers are very happy with it, so I'd like to contribute it back
> ([here|https://gist.github.com/jhaber/d8204829fe61569e0034250df74300fb] is an
> example of the output before and after the change).
> If you agree this is a useful feature, the first step is to update the
> maven-dependency-analyzer to return this information so that the
> maven-dependency-plugin can use it.
