Preventing overriding dependency version in Maven child pom

Question

I have a dependencyManagement section in parent pom like

    
        org.apache.httpcomponents         


        

Answer 1

You could add a dependency:analyze-dep-mgt execution in your parent pom and configure it to fail on version mismatches:

  
    
      
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-dependency-plugin
        2.6
        
          
            analyze
            package
            
              analyze-dep-mgt
            
            
              true
              false
