> Overriding the dependency management in a module, the overridden value will not be preserved transitively. It makes no sense to be able to override the dependency management in a module if that is only effective in that module and nowhere else. Overriding the dependency management should be considered an anti-pattern. Maven should provide a warning when it is used. During the development of Maven 3.4, there have been quite a few discussions on dev@ about build issues which were all caused by overriding the dependency management without noticing this is not supported transitively.
