Goals

Goals available for this plugin:

Goal	Description
tycho-dependency-tools:generate-target	This mojo generates a target platform from all the dependencies of a maven build for example to be used inside of PDE
tycho-dependency-tools:list-dependencies	Writes a plain text file listing the absolute filesystem locations of all dependencies (and, for OSGi bundle projects, any additional classpath entries contributed by `org.eclipse.tycho.classpath.ClasspathContributor`s) of the current project, one location per line. It differs from `maven-dependency-plugin:list` in the fact that it does return location to bundles, and not to nested jars (in case bundle contain some).
tycho-dependency-tools:usage	This mojos compares the actual content of the target against what is used in the projects to allow for getting rid of seldom or unused dependencies Example `org.eclipse.tycho.extras:tycho-dependency-tools-plugin:6.0.0-SNAPSHOT:usage`
