Kn Unk created MNG-5262:
---------------------------
Summary: improve mvn dependency:tree - add optional xml output of
the results
Key: MNG-5262
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5262
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Command Line
Affects Versions: 3.0.4
Environment: all
Reporter: Kn Unk
The output of mvn dependency:tree would be more useful to me if it was in a
format that is machine readable. I would like to create some tooling to be
able to easily determine what is causing a particular jar to be included.
for example:
>mymvntool -why org.springframework:org.springframework.beans:3.0.5
org.springframework.beans-3.0.5 is being *dragged* in by:
my.otherproject.core:1.1
%end of search
another use:
>mymvntool -makeexclusionfor org.springframework:org.springframework.beans:3.0.5
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>org.springframework.beans</artifactId>
<exclusion>
</exclusions>
or even:
>mymvntool -makeexclusionfor org.springframework:*:3.0.5
this would pickup all the included jars in the project and build exclusions for
them.
It may have been dumb to pick spring as the exclusion resource, but this is
just an example. having xml output would be valuable to me and probably others
too.
