Thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to use the project-info-reports
plugin, and am getting the following:
org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: The plugin
'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-project-info-reports-plugin' does not
exist or no valid version could be found
...which seems odd to me, because I can see it right here:
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/
Any ideas?

Can anyone tell me the quick-n-dirty way to figure out which dependency
is responsible for a jar that is being transitively downloaded/included
in the project? For instance, I see the servlet-api jar showing up in
my assembly, but don't need it. I've already excluded it once from the
spring dependency like so:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
I just need to find out if another one of my dependencies depends on the
servlet-api. Could it be the case that the assembly plugin doesn't
grock that I said to exclude when I specified the spring dependency?
You can run
$ mvn -o project-info-reports:dependencies
to generate the dependency report in target/site/dependencies.html
