AFAIK, this shows the dependencies from which your code is using classes, but which are not declared in your pom file, but by another dependency.
ie. You -> Project A -> Project B And one of your classes imports something from Project B. This will compile. Project A releases a new versions, which is not dependend anymore on Project B. You update the version of Project A to the new version, et voila, your code is not compiling anymore. It is better to declare all your dependencies your project uses, even if there are already included in one of your dependencies. Hth, Nick Stolwijk -----Original Message----- From: Wim Deblauwe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 11/21/2007 4:32 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: [dependency plugin] Used undeclared dependencies Why does the dependency plugin gives "Used undeclared dependencies"? What is the reason or how does maven know this? I looked at the docs ( http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/analyze-mojo.html), but it did not give much info on why you get this and what you can do about it. This is the output: [INFO] [dependency:analyze] [INFO] Used declared dependencies: [INFO] net.java.dev.glazedlists:glazedlists_java15:jar:1.7.0:compile [INFO] net.java.dev.timingframework:timingframework:jar:1.0:compile [INFO] com.jidesoft:jide-oss:jar:2.1.3.04:compile [INFO] log4j:log4j:jar:1.2.14:compile [INFO] org.swinglabs:swing-worker:jar:1.1:compile [INFO] com.jgoodies:looks:jar:2.1.2:compile [INFO] com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream:jar:1.2.1:compile [INFO] org.swinglabs:swingx:jar:0.9:compile [INFO] org.testng:testng:jar:jdk15:5.1:test [INFO] Used undeclared dependencies: [WARNING] com.jhlabs:filters:jar:2.0.235:compile [INFO] Unused declared dependencies: [INFO] None [WARNING] Potential problems discovered.

Additionally, the docs show a target called "dependency:tree" but this does not seem to work. regards, Wim -- Vigilog - an open source log file viewer: http://vigilog.sourceforge.net Blog: http://www.jroller.com/page/Fester
