[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2314?page=all ]
John Casey updated MNG-2314: ---------------------------- Attachment: MNG-2314.test.zip this is my set of POM tests, in addition to the unit tests I've put in SVN, to verify that I cannot reproduce this issue. I visually inspected the POM resulting from a build of the bottom project using: mvn help:effective-pom I also made a point of executing: mvn -N install on both of the parent dirs, and moving the bottom project out to a different directory structure, then trying again, just to be sure it wasn't related to a resolution problem when the parent POMs were in the repository. > <dependencyManagement> not inherited more than one level > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2314 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2314 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Inheritence and Interpolation, Dependencies > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Reporter: Simon Kepp Nielsen > Fix For: 2.0.5 > > Attachments: MNG-2314.test.zip > > > Version information from the <dependencyManagement> section in the parent pom > is correctly inherited to dependencies in a child project.
