Description

I have a few projects that have a large number of dependencies. I would like to be able to sort them into alphabetical order for easier readability. Also sometimes the same dependency gets copied and pasted and there is a duplicate. I created the sort mojo to sort dependencies in alphabetical order and optionally remove duplicates and group the dependencies by their scope.

Interesting. Can you include some unit tests and site docs?

Doesn't dependency:resolve / dependency:list already sort the dependencies alphabetically?

They do sort, but those goals don't give you a format that you can put back into your pom.
This mojo is meant to help make the pom more readable.

Ah right, I see. Perhaps a general purpose POM formatter goal would be better? It could utilise Maven's model readers and writers to give a consistent output.

Yeah, a new pom formatting plugin would probably be useful, and a good place for this goal to go. I just didn't want to spend too much time on this. I wrote this mojo just so I didn't have to clean up a few of my pom dependencies by hand.

Could be worth proposing on mojo-dev and see what people think before incorporating this into the dependency plugin.

Ok, I made it into a stand alone plugin. I'm thinking that there could be a generic plugin for reading, analyzing, and writing poms.
I noticed that there is a maven-pom-plugin for maven 1, but I didn't see one for maven 2, so I thought that might be a good name.
