if I wanted to fetch spring boots starters to find all of their dependencies and list them out... basically a way to recreate the entire potential dependency list, is there a good api someone knows about to do that? I could potentially use some maven artifacts (maven libraries) instead of gradle code to do this. Thinking about writing a plugin to export a version catalog artifact. note: I probably need to just start at

spring-boot-depenencies

but I think that still dives into other dependencies and BOMs

try looking at this sample https://docs.gradle.org/8.7/samples/sample_tasks_with_dependency_resolution_result_inputs.html it has a few demo tasks for rendering the dependency tree of a project

obviously this is a low priority issue to me... but these wouldn't be actual (applied) dependencies. Even if I did have to apply them I'd still have to figure out what they are first. "reflectively"
