Didier Loiseau commented on MRESOLVER-614: ------------------------------------------ {quote}In general, transitive depMgt handling should just improve things IMO. {quote} Oh I totally agree with that. In fact, I would even argue that, if it causes any issue, the project is probably misconfigured. But some may still consider it a regression. (OTOH, they can continue to use Maven 3) {quote}Resolver is not aware that depMgt is "in parent" nor is important. {quote} Yes indeed, in this case it is in parent but it could even be in the same pom. {quote}The important bit is that depMgt from node at n-depth should be applied only on n+1 and below depth (to children, so to say, so it's own dependency dependencies, just like in your POM, the depMgt is not overriding your deps). {quote} That makes sense indeed. (y) > Collector applies depMgt entries coming from a self onto itself > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRESOLVER-614 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOLVER-614 > Project: Maven Resolver > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Resolver > Affects Versions: 2.0.2 > Reporter: Tamas Cservenak > Assignee: Tamas Cservenak > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.0.3 > > > In Maven3 this was not a problem, as Maven3 could add depMgt only on "root > level". > In Maven4 with use of new/old transitive Dependency Managers this became a > problem. The dependency manager first receives depMgt entries for currently > processed node, and then applies it onto same entry, overriding direct > dependency versions. > Example with Maven beta-5: it cannot build Resolver master > (88a96ac0606d4d2372452a677d9f93c0b55105a4) as bnd-maven-plugin do depend on > plexus-utils via path of {{bnd-maven-plugin > build-api > plexus-utils}} as > it explodes due lack of org.plexus.utils.Scanner on classpath. This class was > introduced in plexus-utils 1.5.8, and build-api do depend on it. But alas, > build-api parent contains depMgt entry for plexus-utils 1.5.5 and is applied > onto build-api overriding it's own dependency version. > Basically current resolver code is NOT prepared for any "transitive > dependency management" (despite DependencyManagers are there) as node would > apply it's own depManagement rules onto itself. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
