[FIXED] MAVEN! Spring Boot takes wrong dependency version mentioned in dependency project

October 14, 2021 java, maven, spring, spring-boot

Issue

I have two Spring Boot projects, and want to use one of them as MAVEN dependency in other.

Project Scraper depends on Database project
Project Database contains database layer (Entities and DAO are build and tested here)

In Database project I have to override the Hibernate version, and did like described in https://spring.io/blog/2016/04/13/overriding-dependency-versions-with-spring-boot option 2.

<properties>
...
    <hibernate.version>5.2.10.Final</hibernate.version>
</properties>

This works fine and I see proper version in MAVEN depdndencies for Database project: /home/pm/.m2/repository/org/hibernate/hibernate-core/5.2.10.Final/hibernate-core-5.2.10.Final.jar

Than I come to Scraper project. It not contain any Hibernate in Maven dependencies, as I not import them explicitly. Now I add my Database prject dependency

    <dependency>
        <groupId>web.scraper.database</groupId>
        <artifactId>DataBase</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>

And this imports hibernate as well, but with wrong version (version mentioned in Spring parent pom, instead of my Database project Hibernate version) /home/pm/.m2/repository/org/hibernate/hibernate-core/5.0.12.Final/hibernate-core-5.0.12.Final.jar

I want to get hibernate version mentioned in Database project dependecy. Ho to do this?

I would like to not override Hibernate version in Scraper project.

Solution

To coordinate dependencies between projects, you should introduce a parent pom that both projects inherit from. The parent project itself can inherit from the Spring Boot parent pom. All dependency version overrides via properties should occur in your new parent pom, something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>web.scraper</groupId>
    <artifactId>Parent</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>

    <name>Parent</name>
    <description>Parent pom to coordinate dependencies</description>

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.5.4.RELEASE</version>
        <relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>

    <properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
        <!-- Need to set Hibernate version explicitly,
        because java 8 date and time not mapped properly
        with default version -->
        <hibernate.version>5.2.10.Final</hibernate.version>
    </properties>

    <!-- Optionally, you can make this parent define a multi-module project, 
         so that the artifacts can be built together, but you don't have to. -->
    <modules>
        <module>Scraper</module>
        <module>Database</module>
    </modules>
</project>

And then, in your Scraper and Database poms, declare the parent like so:

<parent>
    <groupId>web.scraper</groupId>
    <artifactId>Parent</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent, or make a multi-module project -->
</parent>

Additionally, any new dependencies that you need to add that are not managed by spring, can be added to the <dependencyManagement> section of the parent pom, so that your other poms never have to declare versions.

With this in place, mvn dependency:tree | grep hibernate-core shows the correct versions in both projects:

[INFO] |  +- org.hibernate:hibernate-core:jar:5.2.10.Final:compile
