>          Components: Dependencies

> When you import a {{<dependencyManagement>}} section from another pom, you can use a property for the version:
> {code}
>    <dependencyManagement>
>       <dependencies>
>          <dependency>
>             <groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
>             <artifactId>surefire</artifactId>
>             <version>${surefire.version}</version>
>             <type>pom</type>
>             <scope>import</scope>
>          </dependency>
>       </dependencies>
>    </dependencyManagement>
> {code}
> In Maven 3.3 and before, that version could be overridden in submodules, by overriding the property.
> In Maven 3.4, this doesn't work any more: redefining the property doesn't change the dependencies which are defined.
> I attach a simple example that uses surefire dependencies. 
> {{mvn dependency:list}} will yield different results:
> * surefire-api:jar:2.12 with Maven 3.3, because this is the overridden version in the pom
> * surefire-api:jar:2.10 with Maven 3.4 (as of snapshot 2016-08-06), which is the version defined in the parent pom
> It is admittedly a corner case, or potentially a bug fix. In Maven 3.4, the behaviour of <dependencyManagement> is now more consistent with the one of <dependencies>, where you can't redefine a dependency version simply by overriding a property.
> It is however a change in behaviour -- which broke my build.
