[MDEP-724] Dependency plugin bypasses reactor when resolving dependencies

**[Tuure Laurinolli](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=tulau)** opened **[MDEP-724](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-724?redirect=false)** and commented

When running `mvn dependency:tree` on a multi-module project, inter-module dependencies are not resolved through reactor. Using another goal in the same build (e.g. `mvn compile dependency:tree`) as suggested in http://www.mail-archive.com/users@maven.apache.org/msg104341.html resolves the immediate issue.

Start by reproducing `mvn dependency:tree` in a multi-module Maven project and compare it with `mvn compile dependency:tree`, as described in the issue. Trace how the dependency plugin resolves inter-module dependencies; done means `dependency:tree` resolves them through the reactor without requiring another goal first.
