Allow inspection of dependency tree
-----------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-4388
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4388
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Artifacts and Repositories
            Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann


We currently lack proper support in the core to easily inspect the dependency 
tree of a project. The existing artifact collector hands back a set of 
artifacts, allowing reconstruction of the dependency tree only via events.

For better dependency reporting and analysis and more flexibility with regard 
to future extensions, we should look into
- clear separation of conflict resolution, i.e. allow inspection of the 
dependency tree before and after conflicts have been resolved
- customizable scope handling, i..e. consider use cases where plugins might 
want to traverse dependencies deeper than usually done for classpaths or need 
to handle custom scopes like in Flex Mojos
