如何更新 maven 中的传递依赖项？

Question

Lets say I have project P which has dependency on library A and A is depending on library B, so i found bug in B and want to update library by keeping same version of A library, one solution is exclude from A and add dependency again, but what I am looking is it should be done with in tags.

Answer 1

P pom.xml

        <dependency>
            <groupId>A</groupId>
            <artifactId>A</artifactId>
            <version>1</version>
        </dependency>// this version comes with buggy B (version 1 for instance)
        <dependency>
            <groupId>B</groupId>
            <artifactId>B</artifactId>
            <version>2</version>// override the version coming from A
        </dependency>

BUT --> Be sure that A can work with the new version of B....

Best solution -> FIX B --> Upgrade A with new B --> Upgrade A dependency in P
