[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2326?page=comments#action_66458 ]
Joerg Schaible commented on MNG-2326: ------------------------------------- {quote}Dependency mediation - this determines what version of a dependency will be used when multiple versions of an artifact are encountered. Currently, Maven 2.0 only supports using the "nearest definition" - so you can always guarantee a version by declaring it explicitly in your project's POM. {quote} This is exactly, what I have done in the provided example. The child explicitly delcares the dependency and it is nevertheless simply *ignored*! > exclusion of transitive dependency is too dominant > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2326 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2326 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Versions: 2.0.4 > Reporter: Andreas Schildbach > Assignee: Carlos Sanchez > Attachments: mng2326.zip > > > Please consider the following structure: I've got a module M that has got the > dependencies D1 and D2. Both D1 and D2 depend on a transitive dependency T. > I have excluded T from D1 per <exclusion> on the M POM in the dependency to > D1. > Now, one would expect that T is still pulled into M, because there is no > exclusion on the D2 path. But this is not the case, "mvn site" on M is > missing T (in the dependency report), and it is missing from the classpath, > too. However "mvn eclipse:eclipse" on M does the job right: T is listed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
