[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1577?page=comments#action_79208 ] Mike Perham commented on MNG-1577: ----------------------------------
Uh oh, the depMgmt scope in the parent POM is still overriding the scope given in the leaf POM. This is bad - the leaf should always be able to override its parents settings. The depMgmt settings should only override transitive deps or provide info that is not given in the leaf (like if the scope is not given in the leaf, it should default to the scope in the parent's depMgmt). And I'm testing against the 2.0.x branch so please target that code first if you are going to get me an updated patch. > dependencyManagement does not work for transitive dependencies > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1577 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1577 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Artifacts and Repositories > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Joerg Schaible > Fix For: 2.1 > > Attachments: mng1577.patch, mng1577a.patch, mng1577b.patch, > mng1577c.patch, mng1577d.patch, mng1577trunk.patch > > > The dependencyManagement does not work for transient dependencies.
