> There seems to be a problem with transitive dependencies and the nearest wins strategy. The nearest dependency wins, although a filter is in use which will not include that dependency when there is the same dependency at a deeper level, where it is included by the same filter. The nearest dependency gets discarded (e.g. is missing on the compile classpath) although the farthest dependency would have been included. Please see the comments in the attached patch.
