[jira] (MNG-5462) Artifact resolution API doesn't take into account dependency management information from associated POM

["Jason van Zyl (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5462?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=339911#comment-339911 ] 

Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-5462:
------------------------------------

This is all handled by Aether and I honestly don't see anyone rewriting these APIs. Aether handles dependency management just fine.

>                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5462
>             Project: Maven 2 & 3
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Artifacts and Repositories
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.5
>            Reporter: Vincent Massol
>
> Example:
> {code}
> ArtifactResolutionRequest request = new ArtifactResolutionRequest()
>     .setArtifact(this.project.getArtifact())
>     .setArtifactDependencies(artifacts)
>     .setCollectionFilter(filter)
>     .setRemoteRepositories(this.remoteRepositories)
>     .setLocalRepository(this.localRepository)
>     .setManagedVersionMap(this.project.getManagedVersionMap())
>     .setResolveRoot(false);
> ArtifactResolutionResult resolutionResult = this.repositorySystem.resolve(request);
> {code}
> In this case if some dependencies (found in "artifacts" variable) have dependencyManagement information, they won't be taken into account since the passed managed version map is the projet's one and thus won't contain this information.
> It seems really a burden on the API user to have to find the MavenProject for each artifact, get the managed version map for that artifact's POM and compute a global version map.
> I was really expecting the Maven Artifact resolution API to do the heavy lifting on that.
