I have a pom file with multiple dependencies(spring boot, hibernate etc.) When I change version of one of them, many others are updated, such as hamcrest. Is there any way to track, what are the changes which occur when You change the version of Your dependency? For example when You change the version of spring-boot-dependencies, You can see that there is a possibility to change the hamcrest or jackson version.

check the mvn : dependency tree output to see the clear picture of your effective pom – Madhav Kumar Jha Jan 02 '20 at 16:22

However, I want to see what packages were updated for example in my last change of versions in dependencies. – Hubert Bratek Jan 02 '20 at 16:25

share the pom and what exactly you are changing. – Madhav Kumar Jha Jan 02 '20 at 16:27

You could create a visual representation of both versions and compare it https://github.com/ferstl/depgraph-maven-plugin – Simon Martinelli Jan 02 '20 at 17:16

If you are working with Spring Boot the best is simply to change only the version of your spring-boot parent or the BOM file but don't handle all dependencies like hamcrest, hibernate etc yourself cause Spring Boot already does that correctly. – khmarbaise Jan 02 '20 at 20:02

What I do is I run mvn dependency:tree before making the change. Save the output to a text file, then make the change and run the same command. Save that output to another text file.
You can then compare the two however you'd like. compare two files in UNIX
