There exists a very large group of open source libraries, some my organization owns and a few we don't. It is not currently possible to find a convergent set of versions for these libraries, and it's hard to collect a set of versions that doesn't hit no such method errors and other serious incompatibilities.
I want to generate a list of the version conflicts across all these libraries, and then create an ordered list of the dependency upgrades that need to be patched in and shipped so we can publish a BOM of versions that at least work together, even if they're not necessarily all the latest version. Then I want to keep publish newer versions of the BOM as new versions of the dependencies ship. We can't afford to simply fail the build of all the components on the first convergence error. We tried that and it became quickly obvious that none of them would or could build if we did. This is going to be a multistep fix. I'm considering whether it may be necessary to drop deeper down the stack and write my own code to check for dependency convergence. I actually have some existing Aether code that queries the repos for a complete dependency graph. Unfortunately parts of it depend on M2E which I don't want to use for this project. So I would need to rewrite those lines to use org.apache.maven instead. If anyone has sample code that queries repos for dependencies without M2E, that would also be helpful.
