I have servlet-api version 2.5 as provided scope in pom.xml. Here is part of the dependency:tree output of my project. What does "version managed from 2.3; scope managed from compile" mean?
[INFO] +- commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1:compile [INFO] | \- javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar:2.5:provided (version managed from 2.3; scope managed from compile) Does that mean there is some transitive dependency on version 2.3 on my classpath? My WAR file does not have servlet-api jar at all, but I do use old version of Spring 2.5.4. I suspect the Spring framework depends on servlet-api 2.3.

Find it using maven infrastructure. Go to https://search.maven.org/ and enter your groupId and artifactId. Or you can go to https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ and navigate first using plugins groupId, later using artifactId and finally using its version.
How to get the Maven Dependency Tree of a Project. We can run mvn dependency:tree command in the terminal to print the project dependency tree. For our example, I will be using the Mockito Tutorial project. You can download the project from the GitHub repository.
mvn dependency:tree Command The main purpose of the dependency:tree goal is to display in form of a tree view all the dependencies of a given project. To exemplify the use of this command, we are going to use the same project created in this article: build REST API with Spring Boot.
The message basically means that the version of servlet-api would have transitively been 2.3 (so basically in commons-logging's pom they define servlet-api with version 2.3), but that version 2.5 was specifically asked for in your project, so that is what was used.
Same goes for the scope. In commons-logging's pom it is defined with scope compile, but you have it defined with scope provided, so again that is the scope that was used.
