Minor Description
Suggest to provide output on file (not only console) for the dependency:release goal (and maybe other goals in the plugin that only outputs on console).
Some other goals already provide this (build-classpath via cpFile parameter, tree via the output parameter).
Maybe choosing a consistent name for the output file name parameter should also be a good idea (f.e. outputFile).
I think this can be useful for example to include a descriptive "dependency list file" (maybe partial) in an application assembly, or to support the automation of getting the whole (consistent) workspace from the SCM for that specific project version. (help is welcome if there is another way to do this...)
