DependencyManager (Maven Artifact Resolver 1.3.2 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClassicDependencyManager, NoopDependencyManager
```
public interface DependencyManager
```
Applies dependency management to the dependencies of a dependency node.
Note: Implementations must be stateless.
Warning: This hook is called from a hot spot and therefore implementations should pay attention to performance. Among others, implementations should provide a semantic equals() method.

DependencyManagement manageDependency(Dependency dependency)

    The management update to apply to the dependency or null if the dependency is not managed at all.
  - deriveChildManager
```
DependencyManager deriveChildManager(DependencyCollectionContext context)
```

    Parameters:
    
    context - The dependency collection context, must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    The dependency manager for the dependencies of the target node or null if dependency management should no longer be applied.
