Find Rogue Dependency

Unfortunately I dont know of one in Intellij but for that reason I have eclipse and m2eclipse installed in it handy as well. Whenever I have to do something of that sort that is what I use because that plugin has a nifty feature of rendering a graphical representation of all your dependencies. I think there is a command for maven to do that in the command line too where it will show you all your dependencies and once you track it down, all you have to do is add an exclude in your pom and you are good to go. I really do wish such a feature existed in Intellij.

Gerwood,

You can use either Dependency Graph to visualize your dependencies tree (it is only available in Ultimate Edition), or go to the Maven Projects tool window and dig into project-Dependencies-... too see the dependencies as a tree (this bacame available in the recent eap and in the Idea 9 RC in both Community and Ultimate Editions).

Thanks for the information. I'll take a look at the Dependency Graph.

I did find a solution through Maven's dependency:tree plugin. It mapped it out well enough that I could locate the rogue dependency and exclude it.

Anton,

The dependency view in the Maven tool window is just great! Would it be possible to include more dependency information like scope and optional true/false?
I see that scope is included in the Dependency Graph, but it does not seem to include optional true/false.

Anton,

Seems that issue has all my needs covered :-)

I'm not sure about the meaning of the colors in the dependency toolwindow : am I right that green items are In-Project, whereas Yellow one are "jar" dependencies ?

Thibaut,

Quite sure that is the correct meaning :-)

Was not aware of that feature. Thanks for that!
