------------------------------------

             Summary: Dependency Management import does not work the "maven way"
                 Key: MNG-7906
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7906
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Dependencies
            Reporter: Tamas Cservenak


This affects all released Maven versions so far.

Problem reproducer: https://github.com/cstamas/MNG-7852 (repo name is wrong, obviously).

In short: unlike with dependencies, where you CAN override some "deep transitive" dependency by re-declaring it directly as 1st level dependency in POM, for depMgt import this does not work, actually, it works quite the opposite ("first comes, wins"). Moreover, Maven remains silent about this, as reproducer shows, and all of this goes unnoticed.

Solution: at least depMgt import should make "the maven way", maybe not by default (to not break existing builds) but configurable. Problem is solved if in reproducer:
- with fix enabled, junit 5.9.3 is used, AND
- with fix disabled, Maven yells about ignored depMgt
