Maven includes wrong version of Hazelcast

Question

My pom.xml has a dependency to include HazelCast 3.8.4, but the war includes HazelCast 3.2.1 instead. Turns out BikeEmotion has a dependency on HazelCast Client 3.2.1, which is good, but HazeCast-Client in turn has a dependency on an earlier version of HazelCast, which is the 3.2.1 that I do not want.

Basically I need to be able to exclude a specific version to force it to get 3.8.4, but there does not seem to be a way to do that.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.bikeemotion</groupId>
        <artifactId>quartz-hazelcast-jobstore</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.4</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.hazelcast</groupId>
        <artifactId>hazelcast-all</artifactId>
        <version>3.8.4</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

Answer 1

If you want to exclude specific transitive dependencies, then use the <exclusions/> tag within the <dependency/> tag. You can find more details in the Maven documentation

If you want to specifically manage the version of the dependencies, then use Maven's dependency management.

The solution was to remove the provided in the pom.xml. That fixed my issue. Thanks!
