[Feature-Request] mvn version:display-dependency-updates --limit <dependency> to check only a specific dependency

[tillmannheigel]

It would be great to have an option thats limits version checks for a single dependency (or a group, or a group pattern).

Especially for large projects or slow repositories it's annoying to check all dependency everytime.

I will open a PR as soon as possible.

2.5 Years + Old issue. Any resolution ?
Each commit, jenkins takes more than 20 mins to check all irrelevant repos (entire mvn dependency chain. )

Thx for the reminder.

This is the single most important reason why I'm not using this plugin in my projects. It takes way too long to finish, especially in case of large dependency graphs and multiple Maven profiles.

I'd suggest a way to configure the depth of dependency scan that this plugin should do (e.g., a depth = 0 should only show me the updates applicable for the dependencies explicitly mentioned in the POM of the current project). In case of a BOM, I'd like to restrict the scan to limit to what versions the BOM dictates.

I also require this functionality. I have made a pull request so long but you are more than happy to try it out. The new parameter is called includes (similar to the dependency tree plugin)

mvn versions:display-dependency-updates -Dincludes=org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa,org.hibernate

Thx a lot, I kind of lost track :)

@tillmannheigel Not a problem at all. It is the first time I am contributing to this project so there might be some changes required to my PR. I am however using the PR version without any problems.

@somejavadev Any updates on this issue? I'd be happy to chip in to get this over the finish line if I can

Looks like this has already been merged into the upcoming 2.12.0 release!
