---------------------------------

             Summary: Re-Add Dependency Tree Verbose
                 Key: MNG-6786
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6786
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Command Line, Dependencies, Plugin Requests
    Affects Versions: 3.6.2
            Reporter: Olof Larsson
         Attachments: dependency-tree-verbose-colorized-screen.png

Please re-add "*mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose*".

*Ticket Bounty:* 300USD (will send via PayPal to address of authors choice upon feature re-addition)

I find the command to be really useful and use it daily to check for transitive dependency clashes.

It seems the command was removed in maven-dependency-plugin:2.10 because it used an outdated version of the dependency resolution mechanism?

As a workaround I currently invoke the command like this:
*mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10:tree -Dverbose*

It's so useful I even added some colorization in bash:

 
{code:java}
function mdt() {
    mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10:tree -Dverbose $@ \
        | GREP_COLOR='01;31' grep --color=always -E 'omitted for conflict with|$' \
        | GREP_COLOR='01;31' grep --color=always -E 'version managed from|$' \
        | GREP_COLOR='01;32' grep --color=always -E 'omitted for duplicate|$' \
        | GREP_COLOR='01;35' grep --color=always -E ':test|$'
}
{code}
!dependency-tree-verbose-colorized-screen.png|width=588,height=602!

I execute this command every time I wonder if I messed up any transitive dependencies. It's a really good and quick sanity check command, and I think there's a strong user case for it.
