I am trying to explicitly override a transitive dependencies version, but dosent seem to work.
I have this in my projects pom 1. <!-- use no-commons-logging --> 2. <dependency> 3. <groupId>commons-logging</groupId> 4. <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId> 5. <version>99.0-does-not-exist</version> 6. </dependency> 7. <!-- no-commons-logging-api, if you need it --> 8. <dependency> 9. <groupId>commons-logging</groupId> 10. <artifactId>commons-logging-api</artifactId> 11. <version>99.0-does-not-exist</version> 12. </dependency> But, the first one dosent seem to override the transitive dependencies version. I am not sure why ? Here is the full POM http://pastebin.com/TBP0YTZs Here is the dependency tree http://pastebin.com/VBdjiVcL thanks Arun PS: A little more detail on what I am trying to do. Its on how to avoid commons logging libraries in your projects. http://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#excludingJCL specifically the pom config from this file. http://day-to-day-stuff.blogspot.com/2007/10/announcement-version-99-does-not-exist.html
