svn commit: r1769704 - /maven/site/trunk/content/apt/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.apt

Author: schulte
Date: Tue Nov 15 00:21:33 2016
New Revision: 1769704

URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1769704&view=rev
Log:
o Improved the wording of the dependency management import feature description.
  I read this when preparing the 3.4.0 release notes for MNG-5971 and it
  makes me 100% confident that the fix for MNG-5971 really is making the
  dependency management import feature behave as it got documented nearly
  a decade ago.

Posted by he...@free.fr.
I like the new description
What I still don't understand is "Since they are replaced, dependencies with a scope of <<<import>>> do not actually participate in limiting the transitivity of a dependency.": what's the intent with this?

Regards,

Hervé
