Maven is usually pretty good about tracking transitive dependencies and fetching them. Some other POM probably called for it.

This works great until multiple POMs ask for different versions of the same library. Ouch!

If that is the case I recommend that you still declare it in your own pom
too, just to make it explicit for your future self and other developers that
work with the project.

Yes, you need to be mindful about which transitive dependencies your
declared dependencies pulls in. I make it a habit to regularily check my
dependencies with the command 'mvn dependency:tree'. 

The few cases where version mismatch occurs it can normally be handled by
declaring exclusions on one of the dependencies. In my experience this
happens rarely and I cant remember the last time, if ever, where I was
unable to resolve it with exclusions.

Who is "we" and why is there no referred posting even though yours
contains the References header and the subject begins with "Re:"?

Because you are conversing with a spam bot that replies to decade old posts
with spam.
