[ANN] Maven Dependency Plugin 2.0-alpha-3 Released

[Brian Fox <br...@apache.org>]

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven
Dependency Plugin, version 2.0-alpha-3

 http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/

The dependency plugin provides the capability to manipulate artifacts.
It can copy and/or unpack artifacts from local or remote repositories
to a specified location.

This release adds 2 new goals only:

dependency:analyze : this executes the maven-dependency-analyzer
shared component to look for problems with dependencies. This is an
initial release of the analyzer and there are 2 known issues: MDEP-72
and MDEP-73 (trouble with pom projects and projects with non jar
dependencies like zip files).


dependency:analyze-dep-mgt : this compares the resolved dependencies
with the dependencyManagement section to identify mismatches. This is
intended to help users identify where transitive dependencies are
conflicting with dependencyManagement ahead of the 2.0.6 release. (See
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/analyze-mojo.html
for more information). It will also be useful to find out where
projects are explicitly overriding dependencyManagement.
