In Maven projects, you can see a deps graph (btw one of most distinctive features of NetBeans - this is really well done!).

When there's a version conflict, you can right-click on a graph node, "Fix Version Conflict".

The options now are
 * Add direct dependency
 * Exclude from ...

I suggest to add third possibility,
 * "Override version in <dependencyManagement>"

This tells maven to use given version, but if there's no such transitive dependency. it is not a dependency. Just forces a version.

Thanks

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
