Hi,

I have a muti-module gradle project with one of the child project having following dependencies:

compile("org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client:6.3.1")
compile ("org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:6.3.1")

Following is the output of dependencyInsight

org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:5.6.10 (selected by rule)

I am struggling to undestand why a old version of org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch is getting selected even though I have explicitly specified the latest version. How can I force selection of dependency with version 6.3.1?

Note: I am using spring dependency management as well.

I tried following but still same problem is exists.

compile("org.elasticsearch:jna:4.4.0-1") {
        exclude group: "org.elasticsearch", module: "elasticsearch"
    }
    compile("org.elasticsearch:securesm:1.2") {
        exclude group: "org.elasticsearch", module: "elasticsearch"
    }

Also noticed that he problem goes away when I move those dependencies to the root project but I would like to keep them inside the child project. Please help, thanks in advance.

Just for the record I was able to solve this problem by removing spring dependency management plugin.
