Maven same dependency in multiple dependencies

Question

Let's say I have 3 libs, compiled using Maven: A, B and C.

And let's say I have this project:

Dependency C is included in A and B.

After compiling My project, dependency C will be present by 3 times? Or just once?

All of them use same version of C

Answer 1

Maven manages transitive dependencies in a way that of each artifact, only one version will be used for the project.

If you have different versions, the version is decided by Maven dependency mediation.
