(case: m2WrongTransitiveDepResolve.zip) If no, i agree to close this issue. was (Author: paolo.compieta): 1) ok 2) ok 3) i added C only in the second example, to show a 'normal' (IMO) resolution to 1.3.0; in the first example there were only A and B, and Maven didn't pick the closest I still see this last case as a problem: - A resolves 1.3.0 via B via DepMgmt, 2 hops - B has 1.4.1, 1 hop So, should B win?
