I guess when I think about it, this looks like a stupid question because it could easily be that I excluded a dependency somewhere which caused the problem. I positive that isn't the issue, but let's pretend it could be.. is there any way to get a list of dependencies and what status maven considers them in? Such as if they are excluded or included for whichever reasons? I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this.. all I know is that it was working a few days ago and I have no idea why all of a sudden my project seems to be so problematic.. just hoping someone might have some suggestions on how to troubleshoot this.
