VersionEye does not detect relocation

Issue #351 new
Michèle BARRE created an issue

When a project plans to change the groupId of its artifact or even the artifact name, the team usually notifies it in the pom.xml using

<distributionManagement>
    <relocation>
      <groupId>org.bar</groupId>
    </relocation>
  </distributionManagement>

https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-relocation.html

Many time we were thinking our project was up-to-date whereas some dependencies have been replaced by a new version but different groupId or different artifactId

It would be nice to get this information in versioneEye. What do think about it ? Thanks

    Hi @mbarre I didn't know about that "relocation" tag in Maven, but it's an important feature. Currently we don't support that but I put on our roadmap.
