I just needed to resolve this issue myself with log4j [1.2.13]. Working example is below. Thank yous go out to the gentlemen pointing me to depMgmt.
Case: - Artifact mmm depends on log4j with version "[1.2.13]" - Artifact nnn depends on mmm. - Mvn clean install of nnn fails with "Couldn't find a version in [1.2.15, 1.2.16] to match range [1.2.13,1.2.13]" message. - Added dependencyManagement section to nnn pom.xml to include dependency on mmm with scope value "import" and dependency on log4j with version value "1.2.15" to override the inherited log4j dependency's version and successfully build artifact nnn.
