Benjamin Bentmann commented on MNG-4789:
----------------------------------------
bq. I think I agree with MNG-4156 that a local scope shouldn't override a
transitive one
Well, this is controversial and I personally think the current approach of
POM-wins is right/consistent, but anyways that's a different issue.
For now, I'm going to restore the 2.x behavior as I don't see a strong use case
or existing JIRA that would clearly declare the old behavior as a bug.
bq. Is the aether wiki [1] the correct place to put docs/examples?
No, not for this issue, Aether isn't bound to a particular resolution strategy.
This is about Maven's resolutions rules, so it should be documented on Maven's
site.
> [regression] Difference in compile scope dependency resolution

> Key: MNG-4789
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4789
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 3.0-beta-3
> Environment: maven-3.0-beta-2 vs. maven-3.0-beta-3 (trunk)
> Reporter: Paul Gier
> Attachments: maven-3-dependency-issue.zip,

> There is a small difference in dependency resolution behaviour from
> 3.0-beta-2 to 3.0-beta-3. I have a project with multiple interdependent
> modules.
> module 2 -> module 1 -> thirdparty dep
> Module 1 has a compile scope dependency on thirdparty dep. Module 2 has a
> test scope dependency on module 1. Using dependency management, in
> 3.0-beta-2 module 2 ended up with a test scope dependency on thirdparty. In
> 3.0-beta-3 module 2 ends up with a compile scope dependency. "mvn
> dependency:tree" reports a test scope in both cases, but with
> maven-3.0-beta-3 the thirdparty dep appears in the compile classpath.
