resolutionStrategy
ResolutionStrategy is a concept used in software dependency management, particularly in build systems like Apache Maven and Gradle. It refers to the method by which a build system resolves conflicts that arise when multiple versions of a dependency are requested. These conflicts can occur due to transitive dependencies, where a dependency of a dependency may have a different version requirement than the main project.
The resolution strategy determines how the build system selects a single version of a dependency to use.
1. Nearest Definition: This strategy selects the version of the dependency that is closest to the project
2. First Declaration Wins: This strategy selects the version of the dependency that is declared first in
3. Highest Version: This strategy selects the highest version of the dependency available. This can be useful
4. Lowest Version: This strategy selects the lowest version of the dependency available. This can be useful
5. Fail: This strategy causes the build to fail if a version conflict is detected. This can
The choice of resolution strategy can impact the stability and compatibility of the build. It is important
