You can use Maven’s dependency tree plugin to view the dependencies of a JAR file. Here are the steps to use the Maven dependency tree plugin in the command line window.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure you have Maven installed and can run Maven commands in the command line window.<\/li>\n
  2. Open the command line window and navigate to the directory that contains your Maven project.<\/li>\n
  3. Run the following command to generate a dependency tree:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    mvn dependency:tree\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Maven will start resolving the dependencies of your project and will print out the dependency tree.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Warning: This command will display all dependencies and their transitive dependencies, as well as the version number and range of each dependency.<\/p>\n
      You can also use other parameters to filter and limit the output. For example, if you only want to view the dependency tree of a specific dependency, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n
      mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=<groupId>:<artifactId>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      Please replace  and  with the actual values of the dependencies you want to check.<\/p>\n
      I hope this is helpful for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
