Hi guys,
i don't think we can but it would be great to be able to alias
dependencies. For instance:
in a dependencyManagement i could define:
<dependency>
<artifactId>...</>
<groupId>...</>
<version>...</>
<alias>foo</alias>
</dependency>
then later in children poms use:
<dependency> <!-- an attribute would be better here -->
<alias>foo</alias>
</dependency>
It would allow:
1) to get smaller dependencies (less verbosity)
2) (this one is much more important) dynamic dependencies
