Maven Dependency tree with resolution procedure

Maven – Display project dependency

1. mvn dependency:tree
In Maven, you can use mvn dependency:tree to display the project dependencies in tree format.

2. You can use the following command to get a list of plugin dependencies (resolve-plugin goal from dependencies plugin):
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-1.2.17
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.
mvn dependency:resolve-plugins

It resolves all plugin. But there is a issue. resolve-plugins doesn't just output the dependency tree... it seems to re-download all of the packages. Not ideal.
