How to get the transitive dependency list using Maven

You may need to find the list of transitive dependencies, so that you can exclude unnecessary dependencies. Add the following maven plugin

  <build>
      <plugins>
         <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
         </plugin>
      </plugins>
   </build>

Use dependency:tree as the goal.

mvn clean install dependency:tree

If maven fails with some error, then, use dependency:tree as the goal with -X option.

mvn clean install dependency:tree -X
