Rik Schaaf updated MNG-6564: ---------------------------- Description: For example, if I want to update the flyway version to 4.2.0 in spring boot 1.5 (by default Flyway 3.2.1) I want to do something like this: {code:xml} <properties> <flyway.version>4.2.0</flyway.version> <springboot.version>1.5.17.RELEASE</springboot.version> </properties> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId> <version>${springboot.version}</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> <dependencies> </dependencyManagement> {code} The flyway dependency is already defined in the dependency management of spring-boot-dependencies: {code:xml} <dependency> <groupId>org.flywaydb</groupId> <artifactId>flyway-core</artifactId> <version>${flyway.version}</version> </dependency> {code} But that same pom also defines flyway.version to be 3.2.1. When I include the flyway dependency in my own dependency management, my application does correctly use Flyway 4.2.0, but if I only provide the property, it incorrectly uses version 3.2.1, meaning that my property was ignored. I have heard from others that you can forcefully override a property by using a commandline parameter or an environment variable, but I would prefer to use a property in my pom file instead. was: For example, if I want to update the flyway version to 4.2.0 in spring boot 1.5 (by default Flyway 3.2.1) I want to do something like this: {code:xml} <properties> <flyway.version>4.2.0</flyway.version> <springboot.version>1.5.17.RELEASE</springboot.version> </properties> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId> <version>${springboot.version}</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> <dependencies> </dependencyManagement> {code} The flyway dependency is already defined in spring-boot-dependencies: {code:xml} <dependency> <groupId>org.flywaydb</groupId> <artifactId>flyway-core</artifactId> <version>${flyway.version}</version> </dependency> {code} But that same pom also defines flyway.version to be 3.2.1.
