Confused on the conflict version in text graph

[ShihanMeng618]

when using the command
mvn depgraph:graph -DgraphFormat=text -DshowDuplicates -DshowConflicts -DshowVersions -DshowGroupIds,

I get conflict message like that:
org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-classworlds:2.6.0:compile/provided/test (omitted for conflict: 2.5.2)

But the same dependency shown in Intellij is:
org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-classworlds:2.5.2 (omitted for conflict with 2.6.0)

As for intellij, it is easy to understand the dependency version == 2.5.2 is omitted because of the conflict with version == 2.6.0, however, the message here is confused and not consitent. Could you pls exchange the version in text graph?

Hi @Melody618
Could you paste the full text graph here or at least the parts that involve the plexus-classworlds dependency? I'd like to have a bit more context to see how your graph looks like.

I run the command in your depgraph-maven-plugin repo and the full text graph is:

The plugin tells you the same thing but in a different way.
org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-classworlds:2.6.0:compile/provided/test (omitted for conflict: 2.5.2) means that version 2.6.0 will effectively be used and version 2.5.2 will be omitted.
But after seeing the output of IntelliJ I have to admit that it looks more understandable than the output of this plugin.
