---------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know that the relationship between B and C matters. X could be guava, B
could be an internal project, C could be an external library.
If A calls a method of B that uses a method that's new in X version 2.5, you're
going to get an error.
I do agree that the useManagedVersions param seems like a good solution.

I do agree that the useManagedVersions param seems like a good solution, I just
don't know that false is the best default, other than to ease people into the
new behavior.
> 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
> Attachments: RequireUpperBoundDepsVisitor.diff
>
>
> Consider the following dependency tree:
> {noformat}
> A
> +- B
> | \-X (1.1)
> +- C
> \-X (2.1)
> {noformat}
> 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:
> {noformat}
> A
> +- B
> | \-X (2.1) (really 1.1, but managed to 2.1)
> +- C
> \-X (2.1)
> {noformat}
> Now, if B is upgraded to depend on X 2.5, I will never know:
> {noformat}
> A
> +- B
> | \-X (2.1) (really 2.5, but managed to 2.1, I want to know about this!!)
> +- C
> \-X (2.1)
> {noformat}
