Hello everyone! If I can ask you for 15 minutes of your time, I've put of a 14 question pop quiz on dependency resolution. I'm hopeful that this quiz will let us realize a few things about the dependency resolution mechanism and its rules, perhaps address concerns in the future and make Maven better as a result.
The quiz can be found at https://bit.ly/maven-dependencies-popquiz and is totally anonymous (no email address collected). Unless you feel like sharing your name ;-) Some preliminary numbers to this date: - 3 people have 13 correct answers - 3 people have 12correct answers - 10 people have 11 correct answers The current median is 8. Some quick feedback left: - pretty tricky, even for an almost 20 year maven dude. good job! - I've never seen documentation on this - Good food for thought. I guess I generally hope Maven does what I expect and when it doesn't, I start specifying more exactly what I want. Please feel free to share it with your colleagues and friends. More entries mean more data and better results. Thank you!
