Well, in that case, since you're asking for the dependency:tree I'm even surprised there's any jar downloaded. Maven would only need pom to compute that. Downloading Jars is only done when needed (say for compiling, etc.)
Btw, do you really type "mvn dependency:tree pom.xml" ? What do you expect? The "pom.xml" part is gonna lead to an error since pom.xml is not a goal and that's what's supposed to be listed after mvn. As for your question: I suppose oro is a transitive dependency of one of the things you depend on. mvn dependency:tree should generally show it btw.
