[MDEP-839] dependency:list should output a plain list when used with a file (original) (raw)

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Minor
• Resolution: Fixed
• Affects Version/s: None
• Component/s: None

There is a parameter to redirect the output to a file:

https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/list-mojo.html#outputFile

This currently has some issues I would not expect when redirecting such content to a file:

1. First line in the file is empty
2. Second line says 'The following files have been resolved:'
3. next lines are indented
4. ANSI Escape Characters are emmited e.g.  – module maven.core (auto)

What I would expect:

Each line just contains the raw resolved dependency e.g. "org.apache.maven:maven-core:jar:3.8.6:provided" and no more content is printed out, especially no ANSI Escapes
