> Thats org.eclipse.aether.graph.Dependency#toString, we could fix it, but
given this is "advanced" feature, I don't think is something would block this?
Agree, we need to spin off the issue there. Here, no change is required.
> Maven should explain why an artifact is present in local repository

> Key: MNG-7619
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7619
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Dependencies
> Reporter: Tamas Cservenak
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.9.0, 4.0.x-candidate, 4.0.0-alpha-3

>
> Ability to make Maven record:
> * why given artifact is present in local repository
> * record reverse dep tree how this artifact got resolved
> This is mostly for detecting dependency resolution anomalies, ideally best
> combined with {{-Dmaven.repo.local}} when you use new/empty local repo to
> build a project. After the build, you will end up with reverse dep trees in
> {{.tracking}} directories for each artifact.
> To enable, pass {{-Dmaven.repo.local.recordReverseTree}} on CLI.
