Christian Schulte commented on MNG-5988:
----------------------------------------

I think preferring {{runtime}} over {{test}} is the same use case.


> Dependency mediation should prioritize transitive dependencies based on scope.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5988
>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Dependencies
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.3
>            Reporter: Jostein Gogstad

> The [documentation|https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html] states that dependency mediation only supports "nearest definition", regardless of the scope of the parent dependency.
> If both compile- and test scoped dependencies shares the same transitive dependency, the test-scoped one will win if it has shallower depth. That in turn will lead to runtime exceptions since the transitive dependency is no longer on the classpath.
> Take the following pom from a typical [Spring Boot|http://projects.spring.io/spring-boot/] application. Since the {{camel-test-spring}} dependency also depends on spring, it wins and Spring is no longer available to the application at runtime.
