JBoss EAP BOMs

Internal

• JBoss Maven Repositories
• Maven Dependencies - BOMs

Overview

The specification of one more more supported JBoss dependencies in a build does not guarantee that all transitive dependencies of the build are resolved to supported dependencies. This is the reason behind using JBoss-curated BOM (bills of materials). These BOMs insure that Maven will prioritize supported JBoss artifacts for all direct and transitive dependencies in the build.

The JBoss BOMs are included in the JBoss Maven Repository.

Relationship between BOM and EAP Version

The EAP version is specified directly in the BOM declaration. For EAP 6:

<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.jboss.bom</groupId>
      <artifactId>eap6-supported-artifacts</artifactId>
      <version>6.4.15.GA</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Available BOMs
