Sean Griffin commented on MDEP-273:
-----------------------------------
Because this capability is absolutely essential to prevent incompatibility bugs
from getting out the door, a problem that has bitten us numerous times already,
we're going to fork the maven-dependency-plugin, strip out what doesn't apply
to this new goal/report, and rename it so that we can start using it. We
_really_ did not want to have to do this, but we simply cannot continue with
this fragility and no help from Maven to flag the issues.
Hopefully this patch eventually gets integrated into the broader plugin for the
benefit of everyone.
> 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.
