--------------------------------------
Summary: Dependency management overrides are not transitive and
should be considered an anti-pattern.
Key: MNG-6141
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6141
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Christian Schulte
Assignee: Christian Schulte
Priority: Critical
Overriding the dependency management in a module, the overridden value will not
be preserved transitively. It makes no sense to be able to override the
dependency management in a module if that is only effective in that module and
nowhere else. Overriding the dependency management should be considered an
anti-pattern. Maven should provide a warning when it is used. During the
development of Maven 3.4, there have been quite a few discussions on dev@ about
build issues which were all caused by overriding the dependency management
without noticing this is not supported transitively.
