> Maven is "black magic" to the average developer and this task intends to capture the key scenarios that should be documented and/or tooling improved:
> 1) Why is THIS dependency needed? What specific component is using it?
> 2) Where did THIS dependency come from?  What repository?
> 3) How can I work offline, off the net?  How do I know an artifact that I am reaching for is not on my local machine? Not on my local network?
> 4) Since a property, determines the BOM and the BOM determines the versions of each included dependency, how can I trace those versions, see what is being used?
> 5) Often my local .m2/repository collects a "bad" artifact, how can I detect that and clean it up?
