Understandings maven2 dependency computation

["Lewandowski, Eric" <er...@cgi.com>]

Hi,
 
I use Hibernate3 in my project. Hibernate3 needs cglib/cglib as
dependent jar. This was a problem for us because cglib/cglib use asm/asm
1.5.3 as dependent jar.
So, we decide to exclude cglib/cglib form Hibernate3 dependencies and
add cglib/cglib-nodep. This works fine.... but sometimes maven add
cglib/cglib and cglib/cglib-nodep as dependencies in our war file. 
 
We generate maven site and saw that all our Hibernate dependencies used
cglib/cglib-nodep. cglib/cglib is indicated as transitive dependency but
we do not know which artifact needs cglib/cglib.
 
So, is there a maven command to understand why maven add cglib/cglib as
transitive dependency ? For example, I look for a such explanation :
cglib/cglic is added because required by artifact XXX 
 
Sincerely,
Eric Lewandowski

mvn -X site > out.txt

Then scan out.txt in a file editor for cglib references. At the top,
it will show all your dependencies, and all their transitive
dependencies, and all THEIR transitive dependencies etc in a little
text tree. You'll probably see that one of those has cglib/cglib as a
dependency, which is bringing it in. Add the excludes node to that
artifact to eliminate it.

Good day to you, Eric,

Since you've already generated the site documentation, go to the project
dependencies report again and look at the dependency tree. You can see there
which direct dependency depends on cglib/cglib. 

After you've located that dependency, use the <exclude> tag to exclude
cglib/cglib from that dep. 

Cheers,
Franz
