Description

Currently the transitive dependencies appear to take priority over direct dependencies in the compile and test classpaths.
For example project A depends on B version 2 and C version 1:
A -> B.2
A -> C.1 -> B.1

When the tests are run, the classpath will be in an order similar to:
B.1:C.1:B.2

Since B.1 comes first in the classpath, it will be used when running the tests. But it seems that B.2 should be used when testing because it has the direct dependency.
