[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1577?page=comments#action_77108 ] Ralph Goers commented on MNG-1577: ----------------------------------
Pleaes wait until the end of the week. It was requested that I provide unit tests along with the patch. I've had a little trouble with that as Maven without the patches doesn't seem to handle DependencyManagement as documented. I'm going to try to talk to some of the Maven committers at ApacheCon this week to see if I can't get this put to bed. > dependencyManagement does not work for transitive dependencies > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1577 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1577 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Artifacts and Repositories > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Joerg Schaible > Fix For: 2.1 > > Attachments: mng1577.patch, mng1577a.patch > > > 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
