Description

When I run "mvn dependency:tree" with maven 3.6.3 to view the dependency hierarchy of the project currently being built, the result shows that the version of maven-dependency-plugin is 2.8.

For example, I have a pom.xml file like this:

 

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo.flatten.its</groupId>
  <artifactId>test</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>4.13</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

When I run "mvn dependency:tree", the result is as follows:

 

It shows that the maven-dependency-plugin version is 2.8.

I have checked the org.apache:apache:23 where the maven-dependency-plugin is managed and the its version is defined as 3.1.1. But the output of dependency:tree shows the version is 2.8. So I think it is not an updating issue but a bug.
