Hello Gradle Team I came accross with the following situation: I have a pom file like this: \ 4.0.0 my.experiments publisher 1.0-SNAPSHOT org.springframework spring-context runtime org.springframework

error happens with any kind of classifier. If you remove the dependency with the classifier from the pom file above everything will work fine, that means gradle is able to read versions from dependencyManagement Tag in pom files. But gradle is not able to assign versions from dependencyManagement Tag for dependencies with a classifier. I did observe this Bug with Gradle version 2.7 Thanks for fixing it. If you have questions don’t hesitate for asking me. ---

Further investigation shows that the behaviour of Gradle is correct in this case: an element in `dependencyManagement` must match exactly on [group/artifact/type/classifier] to be used. ---

Hello Daz Thanks for you investigation. You are absolutely right the pom.xml which I did post here was an incorrect one. I did also test gradle now with a correct pom.xml and can tell you gradle is able to match version from the dependency management section as long as {groupId,artifactId,type,classifier} are correct. Here is the correct pom.xml which gradle is able to read: \ \ \4.0.0\ \ch.snb.easyr.experiments\ \manually-produced-pom\ \1.0-SNAPSHOT\ \pom\ \ \ \org.springframework\ \spring-context\ \ \ \org.springframework\ \spring-context\ \sources\ \ \ \ \ \ \org.springframework\ \spring-context\ \3.2.8.RELEASE\ \ \ \org.springframework\ \spring-context\ \sources\ \3.2.8.RELEASE\ \ \ \ \
