This project demonstrates Maven dependency mediation issues when multiple libraries depend on incompatible versions of transitive dependencies.

This repository contains two separate, self-contained examples that reproduce the same Maven dependency mediation problem using different project layouts:

• Case 1 — Multi‑module project

  • Code: case1-multi-module
  • Demonstrates the issue within a classic multi-module Maven build (parent + modules).

• Case 2 — Standalone libraries and application

  • Code: case2-standalone-libs
  • Demonstrates the same conflict when libraries are built independently and then consumed by an application.

• Case 3 — Standalone libraries and application + direct Guice dependency

  • Code: case3-standalone-with-direct-dep
  • Demonstrates the same conflict when libraries are built independently and then consumed by an application which uses direct Guice dependency.

All the cases exhibit how Maven’s dependency mediation selects incompatible versions depending on declaration order, leading to runtime NoSuchMethodError.
