Christian Schulte commented on MNG-5761:
----------------------------------------
[~Didier Loiseau] Indifference, not bitterness.
parent
- module1
- module2
Build in parent, get a different dependency tree. Build in module1, get a
different dependency tree. Build in module2, get a different dependency tree.
What build system is that, not fixing a key feature for more than a decade and
not even now. Requested by various users independently for Maven 2, Maven 3,
Maven 4 and what not. Repeatedly reported. Repeatedly closed won't fix.
Repeatedly reopened. Ridiculous. Has driven away lots of users. Those said
"millions of users" never existed. Received a lot of justified rants for things
like this.

> 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
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 4.0.x-candidate
>
> Attachments: MNG-5761.zip, depending-pom2.xml

> 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.
