Solving dependency conflict

Help/Discuss
1

There seems to be a dependency conflict on dep “org.javassist”. Have declared latest version within build.gradle file, excluded old version from dependency org.thymeleaf:thymeleaf.

The WAR file still have both versions of dependency (javassist-3.11.0.GA.jar & javassist-3.19.0-GA.jar) in the META-INF/lib directory.

The dependency conflict is likely to be the cause of the error (see stacktrace).

gradle dependencyInsight --dependency javassist output

javassist did something like google-collections (now Guava) did. They changed groups/names between versions.

javassist 3.11.0.GA is located at GAV (group, artifact, version) group: javassist, name: javassist version: 3.11.0.GA
javassist 3.19.0-GA is located at GAV group: org.javassist, name: javassist, version: 3.19.0-GA

Conflict resolution doesn’t kick in because they’re different artifacts. There’s a section in the user guide for how to deal with this sort of conflict: https://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/dependency_management.html#sec:module_replacement

That solved it. Thanks

What if the new artifact has identical group/artifact description as the old like following?

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.neo4j/neo4j-kernel/2.1.7

I tried adding version number at the end to distinguish the two but this causes the build to fail.

    module("org.neo4j:neo4j-kernel:2.1.7") {
        replacedBy("org.neo4j:neo4j-kernel:2.3.0-M01")
    }

gradle dependencyInsight command

gradle dependencyInsight --configuration compile --dependency neo4j-kernel

You wouldn’t use component replacement for that. There are some links and a description of the different ways to resolve conflicts at the end of this section: https://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/dependency_management.html#sub:version_conflicts

To solve the conflict I removed that dependency and used a older version of the dependency that depended on it.
