View Dependency Trees in Build Tools

There are several common methods for viewing dependency trees.

1. Command-line tools for using build tools: Most build tools (such as Maven, Gradle, etc.) offer command-line tools to view a project’s dependency tree. For example, with Maven, you can use the command mvn dependency:tree to see the project’s dependency tree.
2. Many build tools also come with visual interfaces that allow users to easily view the project’s dependency tree. For example, Maven’s Eclipse and IDEA plugins offer graphical displays of the dependency tree.
3. Utilizing third-party tools: In addition to the tools provided by the build tool itself, there are other third-party tools available for viewing the dependency tree. For example, commonly used tools include Dependency-Track and JDepend.

Viewing the dependency tree of a project can help developers understand the project’s dependency relationships, making it easier to troubleshoot dependency conflicts and manage the project’s dependencies.
