dependencyManagent does not work for transient dependencies
-----------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-1577
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1577
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Bug
  Components: maven-core  
    Versions: 2.0    
    Reporter: Joerg Schaible


The dependencyManagement does not work for transient dependencies. The 
specified version is ignored.

Use case:
Main POM defines commons-digester-1.6 and commons-beanutils-1.7.0, A-SNAPSHOT 
and B-SNAPSHOT
Project A is child of Main and depends directly on commons-beanutils (version 
inherited from Main)
Project B is child of Main and depends directly on commons-digester (version 
inherited from Main)
Project C is child of Main and depends directly on A & B (versions inherited 
from Main)

A is compiled and tests are run using commons-beanutils-1.7.0
B is compiled and tests are run using commons-digester-1.6 and 
commons-beanutils-1.6, since digester is dependend on this
C is compiled and tests are run using commons-beanutils-1.7.0

Integration tests of B did not verify, that B is behaving as expected in this 
scenario. B might fail with 1.7.0 and it is not even recognized.

If I add beanutils also as direct dependency to B, it works fine, but then are 
transitive dependency useless. It should be possible to define at least in the 
dependencyManagement, that the versions of transient dependencies also defined 
in the dependencyManagement have priority.
