[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1577?page=comments#action_68424 ]
Joerg Schaible commented on MNG-1577: ------------------------------------- Meanwhile we are hit by an even worse use case: EJBs! If you add the dependencies to the manifest's classpath, you don't have any control over the transient dependencies anymore. With two EJBs in the same EAR you have quite often the problem, that one of the EJBs is broken, since the two EJBs will refer the artifacts in different versions in their manifest, but the EAR contains naturally only one veriosn of it. This is meanwhile really a blocker for us! > dependencyManagent does not work for transient dependencies > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1577 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1577 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: Artifacts and Repositories > Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Joerg Schaible > Fix For: 2.1 > > > The dependencyManagement does not work for transient dependencies. The > specified version is ignored. > Use case: > Main POM defines commons-digester-1.6 and commons-beanutils-1.7.0, A-SNAPSHOT > and B-SNAPSHOT > Project A is child of Main and depends directly on commons-beanutils (version > inherited from Main) > Project B is child of Main and depends directly on commons-digester (version > inherited from Main) > Project C is child of Main and depends directly on A & B (versions inherited > from Main) > A is compiled and tests are run using commons-beanutils-1.7.0 > B is compiled and tests are run using commons-digester-1.6 and > commons-beanutils-1.6, since digester is dependend on this > C is compiled and tests are run using commons-beanutils-1.7.0 > Integration tests of B did not verify, that B is behaving as expected in this > scenario. B might fail with 1.7.0 and it is not even recognized. > If I add beanutils also as direct dependency to B, it works fine, but then > are transitive dependency useless. It should be possible to define at least > in the dependencyManagement, that the versions of transient dependencies also > defined in the dependencyManagement have priority. > - Jörg -- 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
