Yeah, i think the problem I've seen may be more a maven problem
related to properties rather than dependency management.
In smx4/features, we build a features descriptor, which is a resource
built using maven filtered resource mechanism.
This file includes references the dependencies versions using properties.
Later in the build, this file is used to create a maven 2 repository
by looking at the artifacts in the features descriptor.
In some builds, I ended up with the wrong version of the artifact in
the repository, but thinking a bit more, it seems to be related to a
dependency having a different value for the property, rather than a
wrong dependency management.
Not sure if I'm very clear, but it seems that the problem comes more
from the features-maven-plugin which does not use maven dependencies
rather than from our poms. I guess the generation of the features
descriptor should use the dependency management from maven too instead
of the more simple resource filtering mechanism ...
