[MNG-8516] dependencyManagement in a single pom

**[Elliotte Rusty Harold](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=elharo)** opened **[MNG-8516](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8516?redirect=false)** and commented

https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Management describes putting a dependencyManagement section in a parent pom, but what about putting a
dependencyManagement section in the current pom.xml? Does this override dependency versions in transitive dependencies?

E.g. suppose my project depends on spring 2.5 which depends on Guava 25.0. If I dependency manage Guava to 33.0, is that now the version that is added to my classpath?

if yes, document this use.
If no, why not?
