Question on compile vs runtime versions. I have an app that has a transitive dependency that shows up on the compile classpath `grpc 1.17` . I depend on another library that uses `implementation grpc 1.32` . So on the runtime classpath it correctly resolves to `|    |         +--- io.grpc:grpc-netty:1.17.1 -&gt; 1.32.2 (*)`. The problem is when you actually run the application you get a noclassdef found error for something that exists in `1.32`. A hack to fix this is for the app to depend on `1.32` itself but I'm trying to understand why this is a problem. The runtime classpath is resolving how I expect it to. Are the compile classpath versions strictly preferred or something?

No, at runtime the runtime class path should be used. How do your run the program?

I'm not able to reproduce the problem. Thanks for the clarification though - that is what I expected to be used as well.
