Dependencies report is incorrect

I am unable to reproduce the error that you present. I have tried using both 2.0.1 and 2.1-SNAPSHOT, and none of the produce the stuff that you say they do on my machine. I have the same setup, but use Sun JDK 1.4.2_16.

That's really strange. I have got this problem with multiple projects, the POM presented here is just a basic example. It also occurs when using the Maven2 Dependency Analyzer tool which can be found here: http://www.jfrog.org/sites/dep-analyzer/1.0/introduction.html

But, I just tested it on my laptop and I can't seem to reproduce it as well. I'll try to reproduce it again tomorrow on my development workstation.

Thanks Duncan.

Your project would benefit greatly from upgrading to commons-logging 1.1.1, because it has had all the previous dependency problems fixed.

I have the same problem with a different set of dependencies. Doesn't seem to matter what order I put them in, one dependency does not get listed in the project dependencies. It does get listed in the Transitive list. One additional note, it does not get listed in the dependency tree.

Jim, can you give us a sample project that reproduces this issue?

Here are the dependency nodes from the pom (yes, I know there are updates...)

<dependency>
<groupId>javax.annotation</groupId>
<artifactId>jsr250-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>

<dependency>

<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>1.2.14</version>
</dependency>

-------------

The dependency report from maven-project-info-reports-plugin-2.0 and 2.0.1 generate a list of compile dependencies that does not include geronimo-ws-metadata_2.0_spec, servlet-api, commons-loggin and log4j even though they are listed as project dependencies. However, these are listed in the transitive dependencies.

Further, the Dependency Tree should contain all of the project dependencies as well as the transitive dependencies – it doesn't match as it is missing several of the transitive dependencies.

I have tried a number of things to resolve this, but can't seem to get the answer.

This morning I ran the dependency:tree goal – this view is correct and is different than the project-info-reports:dependencies list. I would think that these are getting their information from the same place...

I've updated the component that is used to produce the tree. That mean that this plugin is using the same version of that component as the dependency plugin does.

A new 2.1-SNAPSHOT have been uploaded to the SNAPSHOT repository. Please give a try.
