Dependency with lower version number is chosen
----------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3072
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3072
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.0.6
Reporter: Achim Abeling
Attachments: surefire-bug.tar.gz
My test application tries to create a spring
org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext.
This fails because of a
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/springframework/beans/factory/support/ConfigurableBeanFactoryUtils
This class is included in org.springframework:spring-context:1.2.8 but not in
version 2.0.6 which I am using.
Version 1.2.8 is a dependency for e.g org.apache.axis2:axis2-kernel.
Maven chooses version 1.2.8. Running with option -X one can see the line
[DEBUG] org.springframework:spring-context:jar:2.0.6:compile (removed -
nearer found: 1.2.8)
Surprisingly if the cglib dependency in my test project is commented version
2.0.6 is chosen.
(The test project is called surefire-bug because I first thought it had to do
with the surefire-plugin and was too lazy to rename everything.)
