[FIXED] Using dependency management in a child pom

Issue

Is there any reason to use the dependency management section in a child pom? I'm looking at a maven project in my organization that uses inheritance and aggregation, where the parent and child poms both have a dependency management section. Is the child one doing anything?

I found this question really helpful but didn't find the answer to my specific question - Differences between dependencyManagement and dependencies in Maven

Solution

It can be used to control the version of transitive dependencies (libraries that your direct dependencies depend on) without adding a direct dependency.
