I'm trying to use Neo4j's embedded InProcess server inside my application. At the same time, we are required to fix Maven maven-enforcer-plugin with dependencyConvergence rule enforced to keep dependencies clean and tidy.
Here's the project I'm talking about: https://github.com/k-kalinowski/GraphDatabase
Now, I decided to go with strategy of resolving convergence errors that looks like this: pick a version of the artifact which satisfies the most explicit dependencies and put it in the dependencyManagement.
After some cleaning in dependencyManagement section done, I was able to make the project pass the dependencyConvergence rule and finally compile it. While running tests, I get some runtime exceptions, which, I guess, are caused by me messing with the versions of the artifacts I picked as the right ones in dependencyManagement section.
Sample stacktrace:
java.lang.NullPointerException

My question is, how does one find which dependency causes such runtime troubles? It doesn't even hint whether it's caused by :( What's the best strategy to employ when solving dependency version divergence in maven POMs?
Ok, it seems my cleanup in modules was fine. After some investigation it like like a bug inside neo4j-ogm-1.1.3 MetaData matcher. By default, @Relationship's annotated field type is generated in CamelCase while for @RelationshipEntity it's generated with underscore, so when Neo4j-ogm is trying to match relationship entity for given relationship field it can't find none. Quick fix is to provide matching type by hand
E.g. change:
@Relationship
private AdminAction adminAction;
and
@RelationshipEntity
public class AdminAction {
to:
@Relationship(type = "ADMIN_ACTION")
private AdminAction adminAction;
and
@RelationshipEntity(type="ADMIN_ACTION")
public class AdminAction {
