Mike Perham commented on MNG-1577:
----------------------------------
-1 on this patch as is.
If I have a dep in the child POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
and a dep in depMgmt in the parent POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
It forces the dep to the 'test' scope despite the fact that the child requires
it as compile. The child should *always* override everything else. WYSIWYG.

> The dependencyManagement does not work for transient dependencies. The
> specified version is ignored.
> Use case:
> Main POM defines commons-digester-1.6 and commons-beanutils-1.7.0, A-SNAPSHOT
> and B-SNAPSHOT
> Project A is child of Main and depends directly on commons-beanutils (version
> inherited from Main)
> Project B is child of Main and depends directly on commons-digester (version
> inherited from Main)
> Project C is child of Main and depends directly on A & B (versions inherited
> from Main)
> A is compiled and tests are run using commons-beanutils-1.7.0
> B is compiled and tests are run using commons-digester-1.6 and
> commons-beanutils-1.6, since digester is dependend on this
> C is compiled and tests are run using commons-beanutils-1.7.0
> Integration tests of B did not verify, that B is behaving as expected in this
> scenario. B might fail with 1.7.0 and it is not even recognized.
> If I add beanutils also as direct dependency to B, it works fine, but then
> are transitive dependency useless. It should be possible to define at least
> in the dependencyManagement, that the versions of transient dependencies also
> defined in the dependencyManagement have priority.
