# dependencytree

Display a dependency tree on the console.
This is a post resolve task, with all the behaviour and attributes common to all post resolve tasks.
Please prefer the use of retrieve + standard ant path creation, which make your build more independent from ivy (once artifacts are properly retrieved, ivy is not required any more).

# Attributes

Attribute | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
showEvicted | specify if evicted modules should be printed | No. Defaults to false
conf | a comma separated list of the configurations to take in consideration in the dependency tree | No. Defaults to the configurations resolved by the last resolve call, or * if no resolve was explicitly called
haltonfailure | true to halt the build on ivy failure, false to continue | No. Defaults to true
validate | true to force ivy files validation against ivy.xsd, false to force no validation | No. Defaults to default ivy value (as configured in configuration file)
settingsRef | A reference to the ivy settings that must be used by this task (since 2.0) | No, 'ivy.instance' is taken by default.
overwrite | Overwrite the value of the property if it already exist (since 2.0). Before 2.0, the properties were always overwritten. | No, 'false' by default.

# Example

Suppose we have two dependencies one called mydep in revision 2.0 and one called myotherdependency in revision 2.2.
mydep has a transitive dependency on mytransitivedependency in revision 2.2.
Then:

    <dependencytree />

will display the following tree in the console:

    Dependency tree for foobar
    +- org#mydep;2.0
       \- org#mytransitivedependency;2.2
    \- org#myotherdependency;2.2");
