Jeff Schnitzer created MNG-5761:
-----------------------------------
Summary: <dependencyManagement> picks wrong version for transitive
dependencies
Key: MNG-5761
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5761
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 3.2.5
Reporter: Jeff Schnitzer
A detailed description of the issue is here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28312975/maven-dependencymanagement-version-ignored-in-transitive-dependencies
The short of it is that maven appears to be using the wrong
<dependencyManagement> version in a transitive dependency. There are two
relevant <dependencyManagement> sections in the build, one pulled in by guice
and one pulled in by gwizard-parent. These are the dependency paths from the
top:
gwizard-example -> gwizard-config -> gwizard-parent
gwizard-example -> gwizard-config -> guice -> guice-parent
gwizard-parent's dependencyManagement specifies guice 18
guice-parent's dependencyManagement specifies guice 16
Guice 16 is winning. This seems highly undesirable, and in fact it breaks our
build. I would expect that in a version # fight, "closest to the top" should
win.
