AEM 6.5 GSON version upgrade from 2.8.9 to 2.10.1

[hello299]

My gson version is not changing to 2.10.1 I mean not reflecting in http://localhost:4502/system/console/depfinder

Made changes in pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
    <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
    <version>2.10.1</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

What you are doing in your pom is to instruct your bundle to consume the com.google.code.gson version 2.10.1 from the runtime (AEM). But the gson version available in AEM is 2.8.9. So you are not really upgrading anything with such a change. 

If you really need to upgrade the gson version, you have 2 options:
1. You manually upload a new version of the gson bundle and upgrade manually

2. You embed your gson version through your bundle

Anyways, is there any strong reason why you would need to use the newer version rather than the one provided by AEM?, I think it is safe to use that version provisioned.

Hi,

Change the scope in your pom.xml from <scope>provided</scope> to <scope>compile</scope> for Gson version 2.10.1 to be reflected in AEM's Felix Dependency Finder.

Adding dependency in pom.xml wont upload the bundle in AEM until you specifically embed it. Gson comes with Uber jar as well and probably the version of same would be reflecting in your bundle. Please elaborate more to understand what you are trying to achieve.

Hi @Sachin_Arora_ - I want to override the gson version in pom.xml over the version which is used from Uber jar. How do I acheive this?
