I'd like to be able to add additional information to the Maven dependency report. Some things I might like to have in the dependency report would be dependency "classification". For example, is this dependency a runtime dependency? Is it only needed during testing? Is only needed during compilation (servlet container jar comes to mind). Is this dependency only required when using certain features. For example, Hibernate is optional when using Spring. It is only required when using Spring's Hibernate ORM integration. It would be nice to document via the dep report under what circumstances that dependency is required.
After looking at the xdoc plugin I'm struggling to come up with a clean approach to adding this information to the report (without changing the xdoc plugin). Seems like you could use dependency properties to add the additional information without changing too much of the maven core. Does anyone have any ideas? Has this type of feature been considered?
Thanks,
Norm
