Emmanuel,

I thought about your scenario a little more.

Here's your scenario:

-----------------------------------------
Level0 -> L2 -> L3

with a test in each level, and each test depends on
a very specific version
-----------------------------------------

This is where I hung for a sec.
>with a test in each level, and each test depends on
>a very specific version.

Then I thought about it like this:

Challenge

     We have L0 project
     with a dependency in dependencyManagement
     that has a version 2.1.1.
     
     A project A at L1 uses this dependency.
     
     Project B at L1 overrides this dependency
     and sets the version to 3.2.
     
     Project C is a parent project and it
     has two child projects, D and F.
     
     Project D needs version 3.3 of the 
     dependency.  Project F does not 
     want the dependency at all.

Solution

     Project D just overrides and puts in
     version 3.3 like project B did.

I assume you meant something like this?

I also assume that there are no tests in projects
with packaging of type pom?

If that's the case, then I think we should be fine.

Have you had any issues with this type of structure?

Thanks,
- Ole
