> I am kind of excited about this one. I would like to be able to see the
> resolve report depicted graphically, showing me clearly how particular
> dependencies wound up on the classpath, what nodes got evicted, what
> dependencies a particular transitive dependency has, etc etc. Ivy can
> sometimes fall into the category of "automagically" doing so much for us on
> the classpath, that developers can take it for granted. Especially when a
> version conflict arises out of a resolution (by which two different revisions
> are resolved that aren't under the same eviction context), I see developers
> getting very confused. I hope this visualization will help them understand.
