[jira] Commented: (MNG-3725) Cannot override plugin dependencies in maven 2.0.9

["Graham Leggett (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3725?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=145799#action_145799 ] 

Graham Leggett commented on MNG-3725:
-------------------------------------

Further testing:

If an attempt is made to make a private release of torque-generator, which depends on the private release of torque-templates (which needs to be overridden), and if the maven-torque-plugin is told to override torque-generator, the override works.

>From this, it looks like it is possible to override a direct plugin dependency, but it is not possible to override a transitive plugin dependency.

> When an attempt is made to override the version of torque-templates used by the maven-torque-plugin as below, maven still tries to use the original version of the torque-templates jar. The overridden jar is ignored.
> According to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2972, this behaviour used to be broken in maven v2.0.8 and earlier, and was apparently fixed. This doesn't seem to be the case though.
> The configuration looks like this:
>      <plugin>
>       <groupId>org.apache.torque</groupId>
>       <artifactId>torque-maven-plugin</artifactId>
>       <version>3.3</version>
>       <dependencies>
>         <dependency>
>           <groupId>org.apache.derby</groupId>
>           <artifactId>derby</artifactId>
>           <version>10.4.1.3</version>
>         </dependency>
>         <dependency>
>           <groupId>org.apache.torque</groupId>
>           <artifactId>torque-templates</artifactId>
>           <version>3.3.1</version>
>         </dependency>
>       </dependencies>
>     </plugin>
> The original torque-templates jar is v3.3. The overridden torque-templates jar is v3.3.1.
> As the plugin gives no clues as to which version is being used, I deleted the original torque-templates v3.3 release from the local repository. What I expected to see was maven ignoring the v3.3 jar and using the v3.3.1 jar instead, but maven tries to re-download the v3.3 release and use it instead.
> maven-torque-plugin depends on torque-gen, which in turn depends on torque-templates. It may be that direct plugin dependencies can be overridden, but transitive plugin dependencies cannot be overridden.
