I have some questions regarding how importing a pom type dependency in my dependencyManagement section really works (e.g. BOM dependency). At a basic level I understand it will effectively add all its dependencies defined in its dependencyManagement section to my dependencyManagement section.
However the imported pom uses variables for all the versions and defines them in its pom. Now if I want to use a different version and also have the version variable (same variable name) set in my pom, which version will be used? What about order of the BOM import? Does the order of the BOM import matter with respect to other non imported dependencyManagement dependencies? If my POM has the same dependency of the imported one which one will be used? Lets say in one case I'm using a property variable to specify the version and also if I use a literal version. -Dave
