Override dependencies of third party jar in maven

Question

Like this org.carrot2 is depending on commons-httpclient 3.1 So how I can change this commons-httpclient 3.1 to HttpClient 4.1.1

Answer 1

If something depends on HttpClient 3.x it will not work to substitute 4.x since they are completely different APIs. You will get runtime errors when trying to access the code that relies on 3.x.
