Um, no, though this is a common misconception. Gradle, I think, works like that but Maven does not. In Maven the chosen dependency version is the first one encountered in a breadth-first search of the dependency tree. Older versions can and often are picked in preference to newer versions. It is possible for a client project to override transitive dependencies, but you need to be careful. Using a BOM is one of the easier ways to manage these problems: https://jlbp.dev/JLBP-15 -- Elliotte Rusty Harold [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
