Chapter 41. GAV check management

In Business Central, projects are identified by the Group ID, Artifact ID, and Version (GAV) Maven naming convention. GAV values differentiate projects and project versions as well as identify dependencies with particular projects.

By default, Business Central detects duplicate GAVs. This feature can be disabled by users with the admin role.
