Jamie -- My adversion to running 'mvn clean install' is just that I'd prefer not to have to build and install something just to be able to examine its dependencies. Indeed, this problem came up originally as I was configuring a new project and trying to do sort of a dry run to understand where things would be coming from under various 3rd party dependency scenarios. It seems backwards to me to have to first build and install something only to be able to examine some abstract properties of it, so that's my main blocker.
I'm finding this same pattern (need to activate the reactor) with the eclipse plugin, which also seems odd to me, since I effectively have to install a project before I can add it to an eclipse workspace where, presumably, I would actually be doing the work to get it to a point where there is something to install. If there is some more maven-ey way to go about this stuff, I'm all for it. jon On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 01:42:27PM -0800, Jamie Whitehouse wrote: > Yes, thanks for clarifying Brian. > > Jon, I'm still wondering why you're adverse to running mvn clean install? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan Gold [mailto:jgold...@gmail.com] > Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 4:26 PM > To: users@maven.apache.org > Subject: Re: Why would 'mvn dependencies:tree' fail while 'mvn compile' works? > > Brian -- > > Thanks for this.
