Dependency management is a core feature of Maven. Managing dependencies for a single project is easy. Managing dependencies for multi-module projects and applications that consist of hundreds of modules is possible. Maven helps a great deal in defining, creating, and maintaining reproducible builds with well-defined classpaths and library versions.

Maven avoids the need to discover and specify the libraries that your own dependencies require by including transitive dependencies automatically.
This feature is facilitated by reading the project files of your dependencies from the remote repositories specified. In general, all dependencies of those projects are used in your project, as are any that the project inherits from its parents, or from its dependencies, and so on.
There is no limit to the number of levels that dependencies can be gathered from. A problem arises only if a cyclic dependency is discovered.
With transitive dependencies, the graph of included libraries can quickly grow quite large. For this reason, there are additional features that limit which dependencies are included:
Dependency mediation
- this determines what version of an artifact will be chosen when multiple versions are encountered as dependencies. Maven picks the "nearest definition". That is, it uses the version of the closest dependency to your project in the tree of dependencies. You can always guarantee a version by declaring it explicitly in your project's POM. Note that if two dependency versions are at the same depth in the dependency tree, the first declaration wins.
"nearest definition" means that the version used will be the closest one to your project in the tree of dependencies. Consider this tree of dependencies:
A
├── B
│ └── C
│ └── D 2.0
└── E
└── D 1.0
In text, dependencies for A, B, and C are defined as A -> B -> C -> D 2.0 and A -> E -> D 1.0, then D 1.0 will be used when building A because the path from A to D through E is shorter. You could explicitly add a dependency to D 2.0 in A to force the use of D 2.0, as shown here:
A
├── B
│ └── C
│ └── D 2.0
├── E
│ └── D 1.0
│
└── D 2.0
Dependency management - this allows project authors to directly specify the versions of artifacts to be used when they are encountered in transitive dependencies or in dependencies where no version has been specified. In the example in the preceding section a dependency was directly added to A even though it is not directly used by A. Instead, A can include D as a dependency in its dependencyManagement section and directly control which version of D is used when, or if, it is ever referenced.
Dependency scope - this allows you to only include dependencies appropriate for the current stage of the build. This is described in more detail below.
Excluded dependencies - If project X depends on project Y, and project Y depends on project Z, the owner of project X can explicitly exclude project Z as a dependency, using the "exclusion" element.
Optional dependencies - If project Y depends on project Z, the owner of project Y can mark project Z as an optional dependency, using the "optional" element. When project X depends on project Y, X will depend only on Y and not on Y's optional dependency Z. The owner of project X may then explicitly add a dependency on Z, at her option. (It may be helpful to think of optional dependencies as "excluded by default.")
Although transitive dependencies can implicitly include desired dependencies, it is a good practice to explicitly specify the dependencies your source code uses directly. This best practice proves its value especially when the dependencies of your project change their dependencies.
For example, assume that your project A specifies a dependency on another project B, and project B specifies a dependency on project C. If you are directly using components in project C, and you don't specify project C in your project A, it may cause build failure when project B suddenly updates/removes its dependency on project C.
Another reason to directly specify dependencies is that it provides better documentation for your project: one can learn more information by just reading the POM file in your project, or by executing mvn dependency:tree.
Maven also provides dependency:analyze plugin goal for analyzing the dependencies: it helps making this best practice more achievable.
Dependency scope is used to limit the transitivity of a dependency and to determine when a dependency is included in a classpath.
There are 6 scopes:
compile
, but indicates you expect the JDK or a container to provide the dependency at runtime. For example, when building a web application for the Java Enterprise Edition, you would set the dependency on the Servlet API and related Java EE APIs to scope provided
because the web container provides those classes. A dependency with this scope is added to the classpath used for compilation and test, but not the runtime classpath. It is not transitive.provided
except that you have to provide the JAR which contains it explicitly. The artifact is always available and is not looked up in a repository.pom
in the <dependencyManagement>
section. It indicates the dependency is to be replaced with the effective list of dependencies in the specified POM's <dependencyManagement>
section. Since they are replaced, dependencies with a scope of import
do not actually participate in limiting the transitivity of a dependency.Each of the scopes (except for import
) affects transitive dependencies in different ways, as is demonstrated in the table below. If a dependency is set to the scope in the left column, a transitive dependency of that dependency with the scope across the top row results in a dependency in the main project with the scope listed at the intersection. If no scope is listed, it means the dependency is omitted.
compile | provided | runtime | test | |
---|---|---|---|---|
compile | compile(*) | - | runtime | - |
provided | provided | - | provided | - |
runtime | runtime | - | runtime | - |
test | test | - | test | - |
(*) Note: it is intended that this should be runtime scope instead, so that all compile dependencies must be explicitly listed. However, if a library you depend on extends a class from another library, both must be available at compile time. For this reason, compile time dependencies remain as compile scope even when they are transitive.
The dependency management section is a mechanism for centralizing dependency information. When you have a set of projects that inherit from a common parent, it's possible to put all information about the dependency in the common POM and have simpler references to the artifacts in the child POMs. The mechanism is best illustrated through some examples. Given these two POMs which extend the same parent:
Project A:
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-a</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-a</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>group-c</groupId>
<artifactId>excluded-artifact</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-a</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-b</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>bar</type>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
Project B:
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-c</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-b</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>war</type>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-a</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-b</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>bar</type>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
These two example POMs share a common dependency and each has one non-trivial dependency. This information can be put in the parent POM like this:
<project>
...
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-a</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-a</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>group-c</groupId>
<artifactId>excluded-artifact</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-c</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-b</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>war</type>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-a</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-b</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>bar</type>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</project>
Then the two child POMs become much simpler:
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-a</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-a</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-a</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-b</artifactId>
<!-- This is not a jar dependency, so we must specify type. -->
<type>bar</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-c</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-b</artifactId>
<!-- This is not a jar dependency, so we must specify type. -->
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-a</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-b</artifactId>
<!-- This is not a jar dependency, so we must specify type. -->
<type>bar</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
NOTE: In two of these dependency references, we had to specify the element. This is because the minimal set of information for matching a dependency reference against a dependencyManagement section is actually {groupId, artifactId, type, classifier}. In many cases, these dependencies will refer to jar artifacts with no classifier. This allows us to shorthand the identity set to {groupId, artifactId}, since the default for the type field is jar
, and the default classifier is null.
A second, and very important use of the dependency management section is to control the versions of artifacts used in transitive dependencies. As an example consider these projects:
Project A:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>A</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>A</name>
<version>1.0</version>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>a</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>b</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>c</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>d</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</project>
Project B:
<project>
<parent>
<artifactId>A</artifactId>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<version>1.0</version>
</parent>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>B</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>B</name>
<version>1.0</version>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>d</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>a</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>c</artifactId>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
When maven is run on project B, version 1.0 of artifacts a, b, c, and d will be used regardless of the version specified in their POM.
The reference information about the dependency management tags is available from the project descriptor reference.
The examples in the previous section describe how to specify managed dependencies through inheritance. However, in larger projects it may be impossible to accomplish this since a project can only inherit from a single parent. To accommodate this, projects can import managed dependencies from other projects. This is accomplished by declaring a POM artifact as a dependency with a scope of "import".
Project B:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>B</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>B</name>
<version>1.0</version>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>A</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>d</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>a</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>c</artifactId>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
Assuming A is the POM defined in the preceding example, the end result would be the same. All of A's managed dependencies would be incorporated into B except for d since it is defined in this POM.
Project X:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>X</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>X</name>
<version>1.0</version>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>a</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>b</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</project>
Project Y:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>X</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>X</name>
<version>1.0</version>

</dependency>
<dependency>

<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</project>
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>Y</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>Y</name>
<version>1.0</version>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>a</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>c</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</project>
Project Z:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>Z</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>Z</name>
<version>1.0</version>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>X</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>Y</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</project>
In the example above Z imports the managed dependencies from both X and Y. However, both X and Y contain dependency a. Here, version 1.1 of a would be used since X is declared first and a is not declared in Z's dependencyManagement.
This process is recursive. For example, if X imports another POM, Q, when Z is processed it will simply appear that all of Q's managed dependencies are defined in X.
Imports are most effective when used for defining a "library" of related artifacts that are generally part of a multiproject build. It is fairly common for one project to use one or more artifacts from these libraries. However, it has sometimes been difficult to keep the versions in the project using the artifacts in synch with the versions distributed in the library. The pattern below illustrates how a "bill of materials" (BOM) can be created for use by other projects.
The root of the project is the BOM POM. It defines the versions of all the artifacts that will be created in the library. Other projects that wish to use the library should import this POM into the dependencyManagement section of their POM.
<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">

The parent subproject has the BOM POM as its parent. It is a normal multiproject pom.

Next are the actual project POMs.

The project that follows shows how the library can now be used in another project without having to specify the dependent project's versions.

Finally, when creating projects that import dependencies, beware of the following:
Important note: This is deprecated.
Dependencies with the scope system are always available and are not looked up in repository. They are usually used to tell Maven about dependencies which are provided by the JDK or the VM. Thus, system dependencies are especially useful for resolving dependencies on artifacts which are now provided by the JDK, but were available as separate downloads earlier. Typical examples are the JDBC standard extensions or the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS).
A simple example would be:
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.sql</groupId>
<artifactId>jdbc-stdext</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${java.home}/lib/rt.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
...
</project>
If your artifact is provided by the JDK's tools.jar
, the system path would be defined as follows:
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>sun.jdk</groupId>
<artifactId>tools</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
...
</project>
