Hi All,
I've got a problem consistently resolving a project transitive dependency when using different java versions. In my project xercesImpl is defined as a transitive dependency for two artefacts: Project +- dependency1 | +- xerces:xercesImpl:jar:2.6.2:compile +- dependency2 | +- xerces:xercesImpl:jar:2.8.1:compile In this situation i'm not sure which version is included in compilation. However what I didn't expect was that if I switch JDK versions between jdk1.5.0 and jdk1.6.0 that what is compiled would be different! Below is the dependency tree when run on the same machine, with the same settings, but with different JAVA_HOME variables set. Java 5 > mvn -version Maven version: 2.0.7 Java version: 1.5.0_08 OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" > mvn dependency:tree ... [INFO] +- jaxen:jaxen:jar:1.1.1:compile ... [INFO] | +- xerces:xercesImpl:jar:2.6.2:compile ... [INFO] \- caplin.datasource:datasource-java:jar:4.4.8:compile Java 6 > mvn -version Maven version: 2.0.7 Java version: 1.6.0 OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" > mvn dependency:tree ... [INFO] +- caplin.datasource:datasource-java:jar:4.4.8:compile [INFO] | \- xerces:xercesImpl:jar:2.8.1:compile ... [INFO] +- jaxen:jaxen:jar:1.1.1:compile ...
