I have a use-case where we want to know all the versions that a Maven project gets per dependency tree even if they are omitted.
Per maven-dependency-plugin doc
You can use
mvn dependency:tree -X
which produces the debug output.
Otherwise stated in the documentation about verbose
-
Notice this feature actually uses Maven 2 algorithm and may give wrong results when used with Maven 3.
Edit: As pointed by Brad in the comments, the verbose
flag has been would be reintroduced for the 3.2.0 release and further.
