Resolution: Won't Fix

Please read MNG-5971 regarding the change to the {{import}} scope and why that
change is thought of being a bugfix.
> 3.4 regression: cannot override version of a dependencyManagement in a
> submodule any more
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6079
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6079
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0
> Reporter: Samuel Langlois
> Assignee: Christian Schulte
> Attachments: parent-pom.xml, pom.xml
>
>
> When you import a {{<dependencyManagement>}} section from another pom, you
> can use a property for the version:
> {code}
> <dependencyManagement>
> <dependencies>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
> <artifactId>surefire</artifactId>
> <version>${surefire.version}</version>
> <type>pom</type>
> <scope>import</scope>
> </dependency>
> </dependencies>
> </dependencyManagement>
> {code}
> In Maven 3.3 and before, that version could be overridden in submodules, by
> overriding the property.
> In Maven 3.4, this doesn't work any more: redefining the property doesn't
> change the dependencies which are defined.
> I attach a simple example that uses surefire dependencies.
> {{mvn dependency:list}} will yield different results:
> * surefire-api:jar:2.12 with Maven 3.3, because this is the overridden
> version in the pom
> * surefire-api:jar:2.10 with Maven 3.4 (as of snapshot 2016-08-06), which is
> the version defined in the parent pom
> It is admittedly a corner case, or potentially a bug fix. In Maven 3.4, the
> behaviour of <dependencyManagement> is now more consistent with the one of
> <dependencies>, where you can't redefine a dependency version simply by
> overriding a property.
> It is however a change in behaviour -- which broke my build.
