Description

`dependency:resolve` has an `includeParents` user property [1] which `dependency:resolve-plugins` is lacking [2]. This makes it difficult to generate a complete list of all (JARs and) POMs required to build a project (with dependencies and plugins and their dependencies).

P.S. `dependency:get` appears to have a similar shortcoming: It can resolve dependencies recursively (`transitive=true`, enabled by default [3]), but it lacks a `includeParents` user property.
