Hi everyone, I have a project [1] which depends on org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik-bridge:1.8, which in turn requires org.apache.xmlgraphics:xmlgraphics-commons:2.1 at runtime.
Unfortunately, the POM for batik-bridge somehow does not declare the xmlgraphics-commons dependency [2], even though it definitely needs it [3]. Of course, as a good citizen I should contact upstream and ask about this. But in the meantime, I want to work around it. I could add a runtime dependency on xmlgraphics-commons to my project POM, but what would be really nice would be the ability to declare additional transitive dependencies in the dependencyManagement section, as has been discussed here previously [4], since I want to ensure that any project which depends on batik-bridge via our parent POM will inherit a transitive xmlgraphics-common dependency. Unfortunately, based on the previous discussion, I surmise that there is currently no mechanism for this? Is there an existing issue? If not, should I file one? Or is what I'm looking for here fundamentally undesirable?
