Gabriel Belingueres commented on MNG-6663: ------------------------------------------ It is not a bug. This is commonly solved adding a BOM (Bill Of Materials) pom in the dependencyManagement section with import scope: <dependency> <groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId> <artifactId>kotlin-bom</artifactId> <version>1.3.31</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> > overriding parent dependency management doesn't work for transitive > dependencies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6663 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6663 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Affects Versions: 3.6.1 > Reporter: Alireza Ghassemi > Priority: Major > Attachments: pom.xml > > > overriding the dependencies of a parent POM is possible by setting the > dependency version explicitly in the child POM which makes sense; since a > parent POM is "suggesting" dependency versions for children that don't know > which version to use and a child that knows exactly which version they need > can ignore their parents "suggestion". however that is not the case for > transitive dependencies of the dependency explicitly versioned in the child. > example POM: > [^pom.xml] > mvn dependency:tree output: > [INFO] foo.bar:kotlin-test:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT > [INFO] - org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:jar:1.3.31:compile > [INFO] +- org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:jar:1.2.71:compile > [INFO] | +- org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-common:jar:1.2.71:compile > [INFO] | - org.jetbrains:annotations:jar:13.0:compile > [INFO] - org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:jar:1.2.71:compile > expected: > [INFO] foo.bar:kotlin-test:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT > [INFO] - org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:jar:1.3.31:compile > [INFO] +- org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:jar:1.3.31:compile > [INFO] | +- org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-common:jar:1.3.31:compile > [INFO] | - org.jetbrains:annotations:jar:13.0:compile > [INFO] - org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:jar:1.3.31:compile > > since 'kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.3.31' was compiled with 'kotlin-stdlib:1.3.31' > runtime exceptions will happen; yet nobody needs 'kotlin-stdlib:1.2.71' -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.2#803003)
