how do I know which dependency installs another dependency?

[cristiangm]

./gradlew dependencies

And to read more about it: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/inspecting_dependencies.html

and you can also look into the gradle sidebar: SourceSets > main > Dependencies

Dependency insight or a Gradle scan is easier if you are trying to find out why a module is installed.

:dependencyInsight task is also pretty amazing.

For open projects gradle build scan is invaluable, usually doesn't work for corporate closed projects though, because scan result is kinda public while gradle enterprise costs an arm and a leg.

if you have not done a gradle enterprise demo I super recommend it. you run it for a month and then look at an ROI based on real data from your org. my project included some offshore devs so the ROI was a projected 150%, but if I looked at just the US based team it was like 600%

We did, gradle team was super helpful by the way, but unfortunately for our use case cost was not justifiable.
