Description

When working with the example use case described by Carlos on the MNG-1577 thread.
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A--vote--MNG-1577-as-the-default-behavior-p9506667s177.html

What about this use case for transitive dependencyManagement? has been tested?

A -> B -> C -> D

C depends on D 1.0
B has D 2.0 in dependencyManagement, no D in dependencies

A should get D 2.0

It was discovered that this does not work.
Sample Project / Use Case is attached. (655 bytes)

This will likely not be fixed for maven 2.0.x

Instead it will be taken as an example use case for the 2.1 artifact resolution specification.

The integration test IT0121 demonstrates this use case.

Another use case.

You have 4 projects. A,B,C,D

You have the following defined. (where notation is in the form [Project] -> [Dependency])

A -> B
A -> C
B -> D
C -> D

This forms a graph shaped like a diamond.

The following dependency management sections are defined in the above graph.
B has a depMan that says D version 2.0
C has a depMan that says D version 1.0

What version of D is in use at project A ?

In my opinion of the diamond graph above, we should warn the user and select the latest version of the dependency.

Thoughts?

Just thinking about it. The current documentation says at http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Dependency_Management :

"In addition, the version and scope of artifacts which are incorporated from transitive dependencies may also be controlled by specifying them in a dependency management section."
