Guillaume Nodet updated MNG-6058:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 4.0.0
> Test dependencies should override application dependencies only during testing
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6058
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6058
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Christian Schulte
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 4.0.0
>
> Attachments: MNG-6058.zip
>
>
> The following graph
> {code}
> POM
> |->a 2.0 compile
> |-->b 2.0 compile
> |->b 1.0 test
> {code}
> will be mediated to
> {code}
> POM
> |->a 2.0 compile
> |->b 1.0 test
> {code}
> The test dependency on b will make the transitive application dependency on b
> disappear. Maven should understand that the application dependency on b in
> version 2.0 is part of the application classpath and that the test
> dependency on b in version 1.0 is part of the test classpath only (overriding
> the application classpath). If someone adds a dependency on a project like
> that, the test dependency will disappear because the test scope is not
> transitive so that a "consuming" project gets a different application
> classpath than the project itself.
