Do you mean a conflicting dependency in one of my 5 projects? If so, it's on me to pay that technical debt and fix my own crap.

If the dependency doesn't conflict, then my package manager takes care of it.

In the JVM world it's not uncommon to have different sets of versions of the same libraries for different but dependent projects. And it's not a problem, because classloading is hierarchical and so different versions can live side by side even inside one JVM.

And a lot of Java/Groovy/Scala/Kotlin libs are on Maven Central, but not packaged for let's say CentOS/Ubuntu/Debian/etc. So the package manager for JVM is Ivy (ivy2), or full Maven (which is basically ivy + a task runner).
