package relocation is the only reliable defense against jar hell and usually can only be done at the final assembly stage (before that it is impossible to determine which package requires relocation). Thus, it cannot be conducted in a divide-and-conquer manner and requires enormous effort and a very complex process to be configured manually.

 

Maven should automate this process by analyzing the dependency tree and relocate package whenever there is a version conflict
