Transitive Dependencies for Unused Artifact
Hi guys,
I have the following use case. Project with several modules that inherit a
parent POM. Let's say we have 5 modules (e.g. A, B, C, D, E) . In 3 of them
(e.g. A-C) we need ArtifacX. Let's say ArtifacX has a transitive dependency
to log4j version X.
My question is:
If I move ArtifacX dependency into the parent POM (inherited by all 5
modules!), what will happen with the modules that do not need ArtifacX (e.g.
D and E), but make use of log4j? Should I expect that it is possible to
pollute them with the transitive dependency to log4j (let's say v.Y)
introduced by ArtifacX into the parent POM? Do not forget that in fact D and
E do not need ArtifacX, but need log4jX?
Thank you in advance,
kdobri

Thank you for the answer.
I will revisit my question. At the end of the day I need to centralize the
versions used among all modules. Nevertheless these modules do not share all
the jars needed. I need to refresh my Maven knowledge :)
Once again thank you!

Exclude is your friend.
When declaring ArtifactX as a dependency exclude log4j and include the
version of log4j that you need as a dependency.
As long as ArtifactX will work with your version of log4j, you are OK.

Hi Roy!
Right seems this is my best candidate to centralize the versions used among
different modules.
Thanks!
