What's the difference on a mvn dependency-tree
output between a '+' and a '\'. It seems fairly arbitrary to me, but I'm sure it's not...
+- com.tom:artifact:pom:6.0.0:compile
| +- com.tom:artifact2:jar:1.0.4:compile
| \- com.tom:artifact3:jar:6.0.0:compile
| \- (com.tom:artifact4:jar:1.0.4:compile - omitted for duplicate)
[I've obviously removed the actual group/artifact ids...]
This answer is not useful. Show activity on this post. For multiple dependencies on the same level, \- will be shown for the last dependency at that level and +- will be shown for all the other dependencies at that level.
Right-click the file, then select Open With > Maven POM Editor. This should give you the expected editor with the option to view the dependencies and the dependency hierarchy.
It's only ASCII-Line-Drawing. It only appears at the bottom line (last leave) of a branch as a kind of a south-west corner.
+- first entry first level
| +- 1.1 second level
| \- 1.2 second level
+- second entry first level
\- last entry first level
It also clarifies that 1.2 second level
has nothing to do with second entry first level
which otherwise mayby considered connected with the south pin of the plus.
