Jeff Schnitzer commented on MNG-5761:
-------------------------------------
I can appreciate the desire to be spoon-fed a minimal test case; we're all busy
people. However, isn't closing this issue rather premature?
> <dependencyManagement> picks wrong version for transitive dependencies
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5761
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5761
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 3.2.5
> Reporter: Jeff Schnitzer
> Assignee: Jason van Zyl
>
> A detailed description of the issue is here:
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28312975/maven-dependencymanagement-version-ignored-in-transitive-dependencies
> The short of it is that maven appears to be using the wrong
> <dependencyManagement> version in a transitive dependency. There are two
> relevant <dependencyManagement> sections in the build, one pulled in by guice
> and one pulled in by gwizard-parent. These are the dependency paths from the
> top:
> gwizard-example -> gwizard-config -> gwizard-parent
> gwizard-example -> gwizard-config -> guice -> guice-parent
> gwizard-parent's dependencyManagement specifies guava 18
> guice-parent's dependencyManagement specifies guava 16
> Guava 16 is winning. This seems highly undesirable, and in fact it breaks our
> build. I would expect that in a version # fight, "closest to the top" should
> win.
