> When running dependency tree (version 2.8) using maven 3, the generated tree is consistent with what maven is using. 
> If you enable -Dverbose, I have a [maven 2 dependency tree|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Maven+3.x+Compatibility+Notes#Maven3.xCompatibilityNotes-AutomaticPluginVersionResolution]:
> {code}
> if ( verbose )
>             {
>                 // verbose mode force Maven 2 dependency tree component use
>                 dependencyTreeString =
>                     serializeVerboseDependencyTree( dependencyTreeBuilder.buildDependencyTree( project,
>                                                                                                localRepository,
>                                                                                                artifactFilter ) );
>             }
>             else
>             {
>                 // non-verbose mode use dependency graph component, which gives consistent results with Maven version
>                 // running
>                 rootNode = dependencyGraphBuilder.buildDependencyGraph( project, artifactFilter );
>                 dependencyTreeString = serializeDependencyTree( rootNode );
>             }
> {code}
> It's very misleading. Even the [documentation|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/tree-mojo.html#verbose] doesn't mention it. 
> Probably there's a good reason to not use Aether for the verbose mode, but I guess at least it should print a warning at the end of the process and explicitly say it in the documentation.
