Ralph Goers commented on MNG-1577: ---------------------------------- Can you provide a link to the original discussion? I just cannot see how this behavior can be tolerated. Since almost every dependency at ibiblio is going to have transitive dependencies with versions in them not fixing this will effectively make transitive dependencies useless as most projects will end up with multiple versions of the same jars in them. > dependencyManagent does not work for transient dependencies > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1577 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1577 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: Artifacts and Repositories > Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Joerg Schaible > Fix For: 2.0.4 > > > 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. > - Jörg -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
