             Summary: requireUpperBoundDeps inneffective when 
DependencyManagement is used
                 Key: MENFORCER-146
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MENFORCER-146
             Project: Maven 2.x Enforcer Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ben Noland


Consider the following dependency tree:

A
+- B
|  \-X (1.1)
+- C
   \-X (2.1)

I can use the requireUpperBoundDeps to find these types of issues (I want to 
use D 2.1 rather than 1.1).

To fix the issue I use dependencyManagement to set the version of X to 2.1.

As I understand it, using dependencyManagement effectively changes the tree to 
look like this:

A
+- B
|  \-X (2.1) (really 1.1, but managed to 2.1)
+- C
   \-X (2.1)

Now, if B is upgraded to depend on X 2.5, I will never know:

A
+- B
|  \-X (2.1) (really 2.5, but managed to 2.1, I want to know about this!!)
+- C
   \-X (2.1)
