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 *Romain Manni-Bucau* *Twitter: @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau>* *Blog: **http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/*<http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/> *LinkedIn: **http://fr.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau* *Github: https://github.com/rmannibucau*
