Solving the Dependency Conflict of Java Components: A Comparative Empirical Analysis

Java components’ reference to the complex dependencies brought by third-party libraries may cause multiple versions of the libraries to exist. When this happens, the JVM will only load one of these versions, which may cause a runtime exception. In many cases, it is difficult to troubleshoot exactly what is going wrong, and sometimes it takes a lot of trouble to solve such problems, even for people with rich experience. This article discusses several common methods for resolving dependency conflicts, explains their principles, summarizes their advantages and disadvantages, and puts forward comments for empirical solution.
