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.

There are several types of BOMs:

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>
