What's the difference between <dependencyManagement> and <dependencies> in Pom.xml?
Asked 2 years ago
They sound the same but I'm guessing they are not? I've been reading the docs but don't really understand it.

The main difference between <dependencies> and <dependencyManagement> is that artifacts specified inside <dependencies> will always be included as a dependancy. <dependencyManagement> will only be included in the child module if they were specified of <dependencies> Think of dependencyManagement as the place to control versions of the artifacts used in transitive dependencies.
