[jira] [Commented] (WICKET-6500) Publish a wicket-bom artifact GAV

["Martin Grigorov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6500?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16262186#comment-16262186 ] 

Martin Grigorov commented on WICKET-6500:
-----------------------------------------

What exactly would be the benefit here ?
Usually BOMs are used when the modules in the release have their own (different) versions.
In Wicket all modules have the very same version.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6500
>             Project: Wicket
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: release
>    Affects Versions: 8.0.0-M8
>            Reporter: Darryl L. Miles
>            Priority: Minor

> There are many JARs with the entire version suite.  It would help consumers to manage elements that are released as a single versioned set to be included in a BOM.
> This is a maven pom only project, that is designed to be consumed like:
> 	<dependencyManagement>
> 		<dependencies>
> 			<dependency>
> 				<groupId>org.apache.wicket</groupId>
> 				<artifactId>wicket-core-bom</artifactId>
> 				<version>8.0.0-M8</version>
> 				<type>pom</type>
> 				<scope>import</scope>
> 			</dependency>
> 		</dependencies>
> 	</dependencyManagement>
> Because the published bom project contains every individual GAV that is published for an entire version set inside a <dependencyManagement> .
> Then there should be a snipper in all the Quick Start guides and all example projects to use this method by default to introduce / manage version numbers.
