Cannot override plugin dependencies in maven 2.0.9
--------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3725
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3725
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.0.9
Environment: Maven version: 2.0.9
Java version: 1.5.0_13
OS name: "mac os x" version: "10.5.4" arch: "ppc" Family: "unix"
Reporter: Graham Leggett
When an attempt is made to override the version of torque-templates used by the
maven-torque-plugin as below, maven still tries to use the original version of
the torque-templates jar. The overridden jar is ignored.
According to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2972, this behaviour used to
be broken in maven v2.0.8 and earlier, and was apparently fixed. This doesn't
seem to be the case though.
The configuration looks like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.torque</groupId>
<artifactId>torque-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.3</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.derby</groupId>
<artifactId>derby</artifactId>
<version>10.4.1.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.torque</groupId>
<artifactId>torque-templates</artifactId>
<version>3.3.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
The original torque-templates jar is v3.3. The overridden torque-templates jar
is v3.3.1.
As the plugin gives no clues as to which version is being used, I deleted the
original torque-templates v3.3 release from the local repository. What I
expected to see was maven ignoring the v3.3 jar and using the v3.3.1 jar
instead, but maven tries to re-download the v3.3 release and use it instead.
maven-torque-plugin depends on torque-gen, which in turn depends on
torque-templates. It may be that direct plugin dependencies can be overridden,
but transitive plugin dependencies cannot be overridden.
