generating maven project inheritance/aggregation diagram

Anyone knows if it is possible to easily generate maven project inheritance/aggregation diagrams like those found in the link below?

This is useful to quickly understand the structure of large maven projects.

One really quick way to do this if you have Eclipse:

• Install the m2eclipse plugin
• Open your pom.xml, select the 'Dependency Graph' tab
• press Print-Screen to capture the image

If you right-click on the graph, you'll see all kinds of presentation options that you can tweak. You can also use the search & filter controls at the top right of the window to change what's shown.

If you want a graph that is created during your build and stays up to date, you could try maven-overview-plugin (not quite the same as your diagram, but looks nice all the same) or EL4J.

There is a tool for this: POM Grapher (downloadable here).
