Description

Currently, it is impossible to tell why Maven is downloading a certain dependency. The message should mention the project or plugin that the dependency is related to so that it is clear. This is something that could become quite confusing when troubleshooting under transitive dependencies as well.

I added some patches on how I solved this. I also like to know why a certain jar gets downloaded. However, I agree that it might get confusing with transitive depedencies.
