NetBeans had a really cool feature that would allow you to view all of a Maven project's dependencies as a graph. Well, I recently upgraded from 6.8 to 6.9, and while all the other Maven stuff works fine, the menu item for the dependency graph has vanished. I couldn't find any information on the NetBeans site. Does anybody know if this feature was removed? Or am I just missing some configuration option?

A:
According to Creating an Enterprise Application Using Maven (applies to NetBeans 6.9), the dependency graph is supposed to be available:
You can right-click in
pom.xmland choose Show Dependency Graph to see a visual representation of the project dependencies. You can place your cursor over an artifact to display a tooltip with the artifact details.
I can't confirm this as I'm not using NetBeans 6.9 right now but I doubt they removed this nice feature.

Ah, thanks. I used to right-click on the "Libraries" tab, and select it from that menu. Looks like they just re-organized the menus.

I am using netbeans 6.9.1 and there you can also directly right-click on the project name and choose "Show Dependency Graph".
