Selenium 4 alpha Maven dependency still downlaoding 3.1.4 sources

Question

I have a Selenium-Java project that I want to update to Selenium 4 Alpha 6.

I have removed previous POM references to all selenium dependencies and have even hard set the desired version number.

No suitable constructor errors are thrown for this package on compilation - my new Selenium is not being used as the new functionality is not available (same site cookie support).

When I review the maven tab in intellij it shows many old source:

My project classes still open up the (decompiled) Selenium 3 classes when I find definitions.

My Maven POM changes: Also I have removed a top level reference to selenium-api which I think is a dependency of the primary anyway...I've also tried using the systemPath attribute to force use of trhe JAR I downloaded but made no difference.

Can anyone advise how to 'force' the update?

That maven pom should fail on command line cause it contains two version tags ...furthermore why using the systemPath ? does not make sense... The selenium dependency is available on central: https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java/4.0.0-alpha-6/jar — khmarbaise, Sep 08 '20 at 17:59

@khmarbaise - I just tried that as a possible workaround after failing.. — SystemsInCode, Sep 08 '20 at 18:09
@JFabianMeier - Dependencies: https://pastebin.pl/view/9c047aa2 — SystemsInCode, Sep 08 '20 at 18:17
@khmarbaise - it is a picture of the diff the previous line is the previous version number — SystemsInCode, Sep 08 '20 at 18:18
It is hard to tell without the POM, but I guess you have some BOM in your `` that overrides transitive versions. — J Fabian Meier, Sep 09 '20 at 06:27
@JFabianMeier - OK my redacted POM uploaded to https://pastebin.pl/view/a1276f9d note I've removed some references to work specific library stuff that is just independent stuff that shouldn't impact... — SystemsInCode, Sep 09 '20 at 08:57
Its doesn't have a dependencyManagement tag. This is a single pom project. — SystemsInCode, Sep 09 '20 at 09:12
