------------------------------------
Summary: Properties in imported poms are resolved inconsistently
Key: MNG-5908
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5908
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Affects Versions: 3.3.3
Reporter: Emond Papegaaij
Properties in an imported pom are resolved in the inheritance chain of the
import itself and can only be overridden via de commandline. The attached
example project demonstrates the problem.
Layout:
* {{test-parent}} defines 3 modules and a property for the slf4j version.
* {{test-parent-bom}} has {{dependencyManagement}} for slf4j using the version
from its parent.
* {{test-parent-base}} imports {{test-parent-bom}}
* {{test-parent-project}} has {{test-parent-base}} as parent, changes the
value of the property and declares a {{dependency}} on slf4j
The overridden property value does not take effect. However, if specified on
the commandline (via {{-Dtopicus.version.org.slf4j=1.7.11}}) it does, even when
running mvn inside {{project}} (after running mvn install in the root):
{code}
# mvn dependency:tree
[INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.8:tree (default-cli) @ test-parent-project
---
[INFO] nl.topicus.onderwijs.test:test-parent-project:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] \- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.7.12:compile
{code}
{code}
# mvn dependency:tree -Dtopicus.version.org.slf4j=1.7.11
[INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.8:tree (default-cli) @ test-parent-project
---
[INFO] nl.topicus.onderwijs.test:test-parent-project:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] \- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.7.11:compile
{code}
I would expect properties in a pom to override properties from imported poms.
