Anita Kulshreshtha commented on GERONIMO-3192:
----------------------------------------------

I tried mvn dependency:analyze on geronimo-axis2. The tool is helpful in finding _possibly_ unused dependencies. It treats 'test' scoped and 'generate-test-sources' phase dependencies as unused dependencies.  The 'dependency mismatch' information is very useful. Does anyone know why we have so many excludes in the main pom? According to dependency Resolved/DM information we are using older versions of the excluded dependencies!!

> Maven seems to have a tool to help analyze whether the dependencies in a pom are those actually used and needed.  I ran mvn dependency:analyze and it looks to me like we could make some improvements.
