[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3354?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17479761#comment-17479761 ]
Gary D. Gregory commented on LOG4J2-3354:
-----------------------------------------
What is the difference with the BOM POM we already publish?
> Publish an SBOM with Log4j
> --------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-3354
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3354
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Build
> Reporter: Matt Sicker
> Priority: Major

> Log4j should publish a software bill of materials (SBOM) on each release to enable end users to more easily discover the versions of both Log4j and related dependencies are in use in their software. [Sonatype has a blog post explaining what SBOM is|https://blog.sonatype.com/what-is-a-software-bill-of-materials], and OWASP has a tool called [CycloneDX|https://cyclonedx.org/] which has a [Maven plugin|https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-maven-plugin] which we could potentially use for this.
> Open questions:
> * Do SBOM files get published to Maven Central as additional artifacts?
> * Do we add SBOM files to the source and binary archives?
> * Should the generated SBOM only include required dependencies? This last bit is less obvious since we're a library, so the end user can always override their full dependency tree when building their app.
> More options for generating an SBOM:
> * [https://github.com/opensbom-generator/spdx-sbom-generator]
> * [https://dependencytrack.org|https://dependencytrack.org/] - integrates with CycloneDX (all OWASP tools)
> * [https://github.com/AevaOnline/supply-chain-synthesis/blob/main/documents/list-projects.md] - larger list of relevant supply chain security tooling
