Joerg Schaible commented on MNG-6141:
-------------------------------------
No, they are not public. However, even the maven-parent sets defaults for some
dependencies in a dependencyManagement section.
> Dependency management overrides are not transitive and should be considered
> an anti-pattern.

> Overriding the dependency management in a module, the overridden value will
> not be preserved transitively. It makes no sense to be able to override the
> dependency management in a module if that is only effective in that module
> and nowhere else. Overriding the dependency management should be considered
> an anti-pattern. Maven should provide a warning when it is used. During the
> development of Maven 3.4, there have been quite a few discussions on dev@
> about build issues which were all caused by overriding the dependency
> management without noticing this is not supported transitively.
