**[Michael Osipov](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=michael-o)** commented What do you expect to see? The goal does execute per-module. There is no interconnection. It works as designed.

**[Paul Hammant](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=paul)** commented So the plugin (using the settings I showed above) makes a file ending in .dot that no single application built to .dot files can actually load? Really?...

**[Michael Osipov](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=michael-o)** commented Yes, really. The plugin is not designed to use this way. You wan't probably `dependency:tree-aggregate` or similar running at execution root only. You still did not answer...

**[Paul Hammant](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=paul)** commented I will try the `dependency:tree-aggregate` goal, as you suggest. In answer to your question, I was expecting to see one giant tree of sub-module deps. Like this...

**[Michael Osipov](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=michael-o)** commented There is no `tree-aggregate` goal, it was simply a proposal. Checked your example, but still running this from parent with n modules will give you n independent...

**[Paul Hammant](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=paul)** commented The dot graph I made for that monorepo experiment was via https://github.com/ferstl/depgraph-maven-plugin which can make an integral (only one 'digraph { ... }' section per .dot file)....

**[Hervé Boutemy](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=hboutemy)** commented perhaps one simple thing we can do to start is adding a warning: yes, for some values of `outputType`, appending does not make sense then later we...

**[Michael Osipov](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=michael-o)** commented Same idea, a warning would be suitable for now. It will basically apply when: `output != text and append = true and outputFile is absolute` Does this...

**[Hervé Boutemy](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=hboutemy)** commented why the "outputFile is absolute" part? I'd say "is defined"

**[Michael Osipov](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=michael-o)** commented If it is relative, every module has its own file and thus no problems for us.
