How does Maven resolve version conflicts of transitive dependencies ? nearest-wins strategy

I think the dependency resolution works the exact same way you described.

I also think your life would be much easier if you use the <scope> child tag to your <dependency>

as quoted from the maven official website:

  1. compile: This is the default scope, used if none is specified. Compile dependencies are available in all classpaths of a project. Furthermore, those dependencies are propagated to dependent projects.
  2. provided: This is much like compile, but indicates you expect the JDK or a container to provide the dependency at runtime. For example, when building a web application for the Java Enterprise Edition, you would set the dependency on the Servlet API and related Java EE APIs to scope provided because the web container provides those classes. This scope is only available on the compilation and test classpath, and is not transitive.
  3. runtime This scope indicates that the dependency is not required for compilation, but is for execution. It is in the runtime and test classpaths, but not the compile classpath.
  4. test: This scope indicates that the dependency is not required for normal use of the application, and is only available for the test compilation and execution phases.
  5. system: This scope is similar to provided except that you have to provide the JAR which contains it explicitly. The artifact is always available and is not looked up in a repository.
  6. import: (only available in Maven 2.0.9 or later) This scope is only used on a dependency of type pom in the section. It indicates that the specified POM should be replaced with the dependencies in that POM's section. Since they are replaced, dependencies with a scope of import do not actually participate in limiting the transitivity of a dependency.

There are some links to documentation of dependency management:

http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html (importend table in section "dependency scope")

There are a god article in a german journal which describe the solving of dependencies - here are the bibtex ref of article: http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2ef10bb1bc1be7806bc3fba53417bbd5f/funthomas424242

There are a section about the dependency plugin in the sonatype book at: http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnex-book/reference/optimizing-sect-dependency-plugin.html

I hope it was helpfull.
