In Eclipse, when I go to the Maven Dependency Hierarchy page, I get output that states what conflicts caused versions to be omitted: However, if I use dependency:tree , that's omitted and I only see the evrsions which are actually used: | +- commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:jar:3.1:compile | +- commons-codec:commons-codec:jar:1.4:compile | +- commons-io:commons-io:jar:2.4:compile | +- commons-net:commons-net:jar:3.1:compile | +- javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar:2.5:compile And later on the actually referenced versions... +- commons-collections:commons-collections:jar:3.1:compile Is there any

I'm working on a project with dependency X. X, in turn, depends on Y. I used to explicitly include Y in my project's pom. However, it was not used and to make things cleaner, I instead added it to X's pom as a dependency. X is marked as a release dependency.

I am writing a project for acceptance testing and for various reasons this is dependent on another project which is packaged as a WAR. I have managed to unpack the WAR using the maven-dependency-plugin, but I cannot get my project to include the unpacked WEB-INF/lib/*.jar and WEB-INF/classes/* to be included on the classpath so the build fails. Is there a way to include these files into the classpath, or is there a better way of depending on a WAR? Many thanks. There's another option since maven-war-plugin 2.1-alpha-2. In your WAR project: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
