Steps to test:

1. Start the portal
2. Deploy the two attached portlets
3. Request http://localhost:8080/o/js_loader_modules in the browser
4. Look for "lris-jquery-testcase-web@1.0.0/js/index.es" (it appears more than once) and assert that one of its appearances matches the picture below:
5. Look for "lris-jquery-current-web@1.0.0/js/index.es" (it appears more than once) and assert that one of its appearances matches the picture below:

In both cases, jquery@3.2.1 and not jquery@3.2.0 should appear.

Currently, the "lris-jquery-current-web@1.0.0/js/index.es" case is showing jquery@3.2.0 (when the bug is reproduced).
