How to get Maven dependencies printed to a file in a readable format?

by

This can (at least now) be done with command line options to the dependency:tree plugin.

Try:

mvn dependency:tree -Doutput=/path/to/file

Reference: Maven Dependency Plugin Page

You only asked about “readable” format, but you can also pass the -DoutputType parameter with various options. Also note that the version I have installed, I get the following warning:

[WARNING] The parameter output is deprecated. Use outputFile instead.

So, consider trying it with -DoutputFile=/path/to/file

Also, I was unable to get the -DoutputType paramater to give me anything other than the default text, but didn’t have a chance to play around with it. YMMV.
