is there any way to exclude dependencies used during test goal? For example I would like to avoid having all *:tests jar printed by mvn dependency:tree.

[INFO] Building test 1.0-SNAPSHOT

Many jars are used during the compile phase while others during test phase. I was looking to the: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dexcludes=org.apache.maven*

so I was wondering if it is possible to directly exclude all *tests via the command line.

You can add the scope like this:

mvn dependency:tree -Dscope=compile

  • I have not tried it but following the documentation (https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/tree-mojo.html) it does not work ("currently"). – J Fabian Meier Apr 15 '20 at 08:48
  • Maybe the documentation is outdated or fails to specify the scenarios it fails? It worked for my usecase with -Dscope=compile. I see the provided and compile scope and test is filtered. Maybe it's a bug because only compile should have been shown? – joseph Jan 07 '22 at 20:48
  • If you think there is a bug open an issue https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/issue-management.html – khmarbaise Jan 08 '22 at 10:32

    This worked well for me with Maven 3.8.5. To include both runtime and compile dependencies, I used `mvn dependency:tree -Dscope=runtime`. – Asa Jul 29 '22 at 18:31
