Description

For example, check out
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/enterprise/trunk/web/

(note: you'll need to specify the xwiki remote repo in your settings.xml as mentioned here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building#HInstallingMaven )

When you run "mvn dependency:tree" (or dependency:list) you get:

[INFO] [dependency:tree {execution: default-cli}]
[INFO] com.xpn.xwiki.products:xwiki-enterprise-web:war:2.1-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] +- com.xpn.xwiki.platform:xwiki-web-standard:war:2.1-SNAPSHOT:compile
[INFO] +- com.xpn.xwiki.platform.plugins:xwiki-plugin-watchlist:jar:1.20-SNAPSHOT:compile
[INFO] +- com.xpn.xwiki.platform.plugins:xwiki-plugin-jodatime:jar:1.4-SNAPSHOT:compile
...

As you can see the com.xpn.xwiki.platform:xwiki-web-standard:war dependency doesn't contain any transitive deps but it has several of them
(see http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/web/trunk/standard/pom.xml )

This is probably because the general artifact resolver stops at WAR packaging types. While this is probably fine when executing a maven project, it isn't when listing all project dependencies.

Thanks
