Joerg Schaible commented on MNG-4257: ------------------------------------- @Brian: Actually there is really an issue with this! Please have a look at all the discussion regarding naming schemes on commons-dev on what to do about upcoming commons releases (e.g. like commons-lang-3.0) that will make use of the JDK 5, improve and optimize API itself and drop all the old deprecated stuff. Basically we agreed that we will release a version that can be used side-by-side with a jar from the commons-lang-2.x series (well, we have no real choice here, the library is used in a lot of deps), but the current naming scheme will force us to name the next version with something along to org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.x. > Add the possibility to have 2 dependencies with the same groupId:artifactId > but not the same version > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-4257 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4257 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Alexandre Navarro > Assignee: Brian Fox > > Add the possibility to have 2 dependencies with the same groupId:artifactId > but not the same version. > For instance, when you have two versions of a jar with a refactoring of a > package like dozer 4 and 5. > In my application, I use dozer 5 but I have a dependency which uses dozer 4. > As maven considers by default all libs are ascendant compatibility, I don't > have dozer 4 in my classpath and so my depency does not work. > It can be useful to force not to resolve some conflict. > I don't think it is possible to do that with maven. -- 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
