Follow these steps when maven clean install just doesn’t update the transitive dependencies in nested projects.
rm -rf .m2/repository/path-to-your-library
cd your-project-folder
find . -maxdepth 2 -name "pom.xml" -exec mvn clean -f '{}' \;
mvn clean install -DskipTests=true
#confirm if the versions are as you wanted
mvn dependency:tree | grep -B 75 the-bugging-library
If the above method doesn’t work, you might have missed to add the required version in the dependency management.
Lets assume BL is the library which has been bugging you with these version issues 😉
cd your-mvn-parent-project
vi pom.xml
#add
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>BL-group</groupId>
<artifactId>BL-artefact</artifactId>
<version>required-version-of-the-BL</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>Let me know if these steps helped.
