Investigating and resolving dependencies
========================================

List dependencies::

  $ mvn dependency:tree
  $ mvn dependency:list

Resolve dependencies::

  $ mvn dependency:resolve
  $ mvn dependency:resolve-plugins

Just download dependencies::

  $ mvn dependency:get

or download specific dependency::

  $ mvn dependency:get -Dartifact=$groupId:$artifactId:$version

Reason for inclusion or omitting dependencies::

  $ mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose=true

Update ``pom.xml`` with latest dependency version::

  $ mvn versions:use-latest-releases -Dincludes=$groupId:$artifactId

Print build classpath::

  $ mvn dependency:build-classpath

Download all external dependencies sources and javadocs
=======================================================
::

  mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc
  mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=sources

Force update of dependencies
============================

You can try redownload snapshots by::

  $ mvn -U compile

You can fix damaged local ``~/.m2`` with::

  $ mvn dependency:purge-local-repository

In order to perform really clean download::

  $ mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=$HOME/.my/other/repository clean install

Find newer library and plugin versions
======================================

Check commands from ``versions-maven-plugin``::

  $ mvn versions:display-dependency-updates
  $ mvn versions:display-plugin-updates

Update ``pom.xml`` with latest dependency version::

  $ mvn versions:use-latest-releases -Dincludes=$groupId:$artifactId

Update all versions in ``pom.xml`` to latest::

  $ mvn versions:use-latest-releases
  $ rm pom.xml.versionsBackup

or::

  $ mvn versions:use-latest-releases -DgenerateBackupPoms=false

Remove all ``SNAPSHOT`` versions::

  $ mvn versions:use-releases -DgenerateBackupPoms=false

More details about ``versions`` plugin::

  $ mvn help:describe -Dplugin=versions
  $ mvn help:describe -Dplugin=versions -Ddetail

Run Java main from Maven.
=========================
::

  mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.vineetmanohar.module.Main" -Dexec.args="arg0 arg1 arg2"

How to run single unit test?
============================

``test`` property substituded to ``**/${test}.java`` pattern and override any
include/exclude patterns::

  $ mvn test -Dtest=SeriousComponentTest

or mostly same::

  $ mvn test-compile surefire:test -Dtest=RunMe

How do I skip the tests during the default lifecycle?
=====================================================
::

  $ mvn -DskipTests package
  $ mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true package

Deploy parent pom without building children.
============================================
::

  $ mvn -N deploy

Install file to local repository
