Have maven list (transitively) inherited parent POMs?

Question

Is there an easy way to make maven list the parent POMs a POM inherits directly and indirectly?

I'm looking for something similar to

mvn dependency:tree

only "upstream" (i.e. for parent POMs inherited), not "downstream" (i.e. for dependencies on other libraries)...

I wanted to print the version of our corporate parent POMs. I used the GMaven plugin for this, as described in this stackoverflow answer. You could modify that code bit to print each parent POM.

I don't know a Maven command to do this. If you use Eclipse and the m2e plugin, then you can press F3 inside of the <parent> element to visit the parent POM. Then rinse and repeat.

I use IntelliJ, and you can ctrl+click there, but I thought surely there must be a better way to do this... – Christian May 19 '14 at 15:14
Eclipse also has some views on the POM but they only show the dependencies, not the way up. – Aaron Digulla May 19 '14 at 15:33
