[jira] [Commented] (MNG-5761) picks wrong version for transitive dependencies

["Maria Petridean (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5761?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14543235#comment-14543235 ] 

Maria Petridean commented on MNG-5761:
--------------------------------------

The description of this issue here, does not match 100% the description on stackoverflow. I encountered the same issue: a project A with a parent pom which has a dependencyManagement section (everything ok until now). Then, another project B, depends on project A and the result is that the dependencyManagement section in A'a parent pom is ignored for resolving the transitive dependencies.

Could you update the description of this issue to reflect also this case?

> The short of it is that maven appears to be using the wrong <dependencyManagement> version in a transitive dependency.  There are two relevant <dependencyManagement> sections in the build, one pulled in by guice and one pulled in by gwizard-parent. These are the dependency paths from the top:
> gwizard-example -> gwizard-config -> gwizard-parent
> gwizard-example -> gwizard-config -> guice -> guice-parent
> gwizard-parent's dependencyManagement specifies guava 18
> guice-parent's dependencyManagement specifies guava 16
> Guava 16 is winning. This seems highly undesirable, and in fact it breaks our build. I would expect that in a version # fight, "closest to the top" should win.
