-* Reporting Only Mode
-
-  By default, when convergence error is detected the build will fail.
-  If you want to have only reporting, without errors in the build, then <<<fail>>> property must be set to <<<false>>>.

-      <dependencyConvergence>
-        <fail>false</fail>
-      </dependencyConvergence>

-  Not specifying this property will cause the build to fail in case of any convergence errors.
