     <question>What is the difference between dependency-maven-plugin and maven-dependency-plugin?</question>
     <answer>
       <p>
         Actually, they are the same, it's just that it was moved and renamed. The dependency-maven-plugin
         is hosted at Mojo while maven-dependency-plugin is hosted at Apache. The recommended
         plugin to use is the maven-dependency-plugin.

     <question>
       When executing <code>mvn dependency:unpack</code> or <code>dependency:copy</code> from the command line,
       I get "One or more required plugin parameters are invalid/missing for 'dependency:unpack'"
     </question>
     <answer>
       <p>
        In order for this to work, you must configure the ArtifactItems as shown <a href="examples/copying-artifacts.html#Copying From the Command Line">here</a>.
        Note that when executing a plugin from the command line, you must put the configuration tag outside of the executions.
       </p><p>
        If you haven't done this correctly, the error will look like this:

       <pre>
[0] inside the definition for plugin: 'maven-dependency-plugin', specify the following:

    <faq id="missing">
      <question>Why am I getting errors that a documented goal or parameter is missing?</question>
      <answer><p>The latest documents are published and may preceed the actual release. Check to make sure the goal/parameter is in the most recent version.
        <b> -OR- </b>
        Maven may be resolving the older codehaus version of the dependency plugin. See next question.</p>

    <faq id="question">
      <question>Why is Maven resolving "dependency:xxx" to the older org.codehaus.mojo:dependency-maven-plugin?</question>
      <answer><p>
        Due to a bug in Maven in versions prior to 2.0.7 (<a href="http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2926">MNG-2926</a>), the search order was reversed and caused Mojo plugins to supercede ones with the same prefix at Apache.
        The metadata at Mojo was cleaned up when the maven-dependency-plugin was released at Apache. If you are still experiencing this error, chances are you have
        old metadata in your local repository or in a proxy / internal repository. Removing <code>/org/codehaus/mojo/maven-metadata.*</code> from your repo/proxy will cause it to
        be refreshed. Alternatively, you can specify the groupId explicitely in your pom (if you are using a bound goal), or on the command line, use groupId:artifactId:version:mojo, ie
        <code>mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.5:unpack</code>

    </faq>
    <faq id="includes">
      <question>Why am I having trouble unpacking only a specific file?</question>
      <answer><p>
        The excludes will override the includes declaration. That means if you specify excludes=**/* ,includes=**/foo,
        you will exclude everything. If you only want foo, then just specify the includes. The plexus component used to
        unpack uses the following code to determine which files to unpack: <code>return isIncluded( name ) AND !isExcluded( name );</code>

      </answer>
    </faq>
    <faq id="unused">
      <question>Why does my dependency analysis report <code>Unused declared dependencies</code>?</question>
      <answer><p>
        By default, dependency analysis is done at bytecode level: anything that doesn't get into bytecode isn't detected.
        This is the case, for example, of constants, annotations with source retention policy, or javadoc links.</p>
        <p>If the only use of a dependency consists of such undetected constructs, the dependency is analyzed
        as unused. Since 2.6, you can force use report with <code>usedDependencies</code> parameter.</p>
