List of dependency jar files in Maven

Question

Using Maven 2, is there a way I can list out the jar dependencies as just the file names?

mvn dependency:build-classpath 

can list the jar

Answer 1

Here's the command you're asking for

$ mvn dependency:tree

For large projects it can output a lot of text. I assume that you want to check that dependency tree contains a certain dependency, so you don't need a full list.

Here's how you can filter output on Windows:

$ mvn dependency:tree | findstr javax.persistence

And here's how you can do it on Linux:

$ mvn dependency:tree | grep javax.persistence

Maven way to filter the dependency tree (works in Windows cmd, MacOS and Linux shell):

$ mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=javax.persistence:*

Maven way (Windows PowerShell):

$ mvn dependency:tree '-Dincludes=javax.persistence:*'
