It is said that:
Maven 2.0.9 introduced the ability to override a dependency used by a plugin. This is handy when you want to use a newer checkstyle, pmd, etc jar than is included by default in the plugin.
My question is - how can I get list of dependencies of some specific plugin just as easy as I can get list of dependencies of the project?
Executing mvn dependency:resolve-plugins will provide a list of all the plugins defined within your POM (and those inherited from any parent POMs) along with all the dependencies of each plugin.
