Version of the dependency is not found when <exclusion>s are defined -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SHRINKRES-76 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKRES-76 Project: ShrinkWrap Resolvers Issue Type: Bug Components: maven Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha-4 Reporter: Karel Piwko Assignee: Tair Sabirgaliev Fix For: 2.0.0-alpha-5 equals(Object) method for Maven dependency is considering exclusions as well. This effectively means that if you specify following in your pom.xml file: {code:xml} <dependency> <groupId>com.google.appengine.orm</groupId> <artifactId>datanucleus-appengine</artifactId> <version>${version.org.datanucleus.gae}</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <!-- Force this just in case --> <groupId>org.jboss.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>arquillian-transformer</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> {code} then following code: {code} Maven.resolver().loadPomFromFile("/path/to/file").resolve("com.google.appengine.orm:datanucleus-appengine") {code} is not able to find the version managed in pom.xml, failing with: Caused by: org.jboss.shrinkwrap.resolver.api.ResolutionException: Unable to get version for dependency specified by com.google.appengine.orm:datanucleus-appengine, it was not provided in <dependencyManagement> section. at org.jboss.shrinkwrap.resolver.impl.maven.PomEquippedResolveStageBaseImpl.resolveVersion(PomEquippedResolveStageBaseImpl.java:194)
