     Trivy may skip some dependencies (that were not found on your local machine) when the `--offline-scan` flag is passed.

+### maven-invoker-plugin
+Typically, the integration tests directory (`**/[src|target]/it/*/pom.xml`) of [maven-invoker-plugin][maven-invoker-plugin] doesn't contain actual `pom.xml` files and should be skipped to avoid noise.

+Trivy marks dependencies from these files as the development dependencies and skip them by default.
+If you need to show them, use the `--include-dev-deps` flag.

 `gradle.lock` files contain all necessary information about used dependencies.
 Trivy simply parses the file, extract dependencies, and finds vulnerabilities for them.
