Ok, sure that's one approach. It does kinda offset the caching benefit of having a local repo. But more seriously for me it prevents partial builds, which is the same as enforcing https://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/reactorModuleConvergence.html
I wondering why this is permitted? The dependency is not part of the model, so why is it available? The impact of turning this off in the next Maven is that incorrectly configured projects might fail to build. Far reaching consequences, but completely just and reasonable and forward thinking.
