Just put the dependency in your own POM when you need to force that version, and the dependency management will be applied.
The dependency management is not applied to transitive dependencies, but removing the version in the repository won't change that (they'd just fail instead). - Brett Ralph Goers wrote: > We have been using Maven 1 for all our projects.
