Jason Bray commented on MDEP-273:
---------------------------------
I agree. Brian, I know there has been discussion in the past about creating a
pluggable architecture around the algorithm used for transitive dependency
resolution. While I think that's a great idea, in the immediate term this gets
us much of the value at a significantly lower cost as the highest version
algorithm is the major alternative to the current algorithm. Additionally,
reporting on managed dependency mismatches using the highest version algorithm
adds a lot of value.
I know our operations would begin running this report prior to any release that
included dependency/version changes. Can you (or anyone else) comment on the
chances of inclusion?
> Analyze Dependency Versions Mojo
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: MDEP-273
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-273
> Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Cole Mickens
> Assignee: Brian Fox
> Attachments: analyze-dep-versions-1.patch,
> analyze-dep-versions.patch, core.PNG, script-ant.PNG
>
>
> This is a patch that adds a new mojo and a report class to
> maven-dependency-plugin trunk (2.2). The goal
> `dependency:analyze-dep-versions` lists dependencies that are either resolved
> at a lower version than needed by a dependency farther from the project root
> or are being overridden by the dependencyManagement section. In some sense it
> is complimentary to `dependency:analyze-dep-mgt`.
> I checked out trunk today, added my new files, `svn add`ed them, then
> performed an `svn diff`. The patches applied correctly with a rechecked out
> copy of trunk with `cd apache-maven-dependency-plugin; patch -p0 <
> ../analyze-dep-versions.patch`. After patching, it built, installed and
> passed IT tests (including the 6 new ones that I've added) properly.
