Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-10386:
--------------------------------------
I don't think this is really relevant to Lucene as the core is not having any
dependencies. Also, I'm not sure how to emit the bom given the current
infrastructure. If you're interested and can provide a (simple!) patch then we
may reconsider.
> Add BOM module for ease of dependency management in dependent projects
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-10386
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10386
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: general/build
> Affects Versions: 9.0, 8.4, 8.11.1
> Reporter: Petr Portnov
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: BOM, Dependencies
>
> h1. Short description
> Add a Bill-of-Materials (BOM) module to Lucene to allow foreign projects to
> use it for dependency management.
> h1. Reasoning
> [A lot of|https://mvnrepository.com/search?q=bom] multi-module projects are
> providing BOMs in order to simplify dependency management. This allows
> dependant projects to only specify the version of the BOM module while
> declaring the dependencies without them (as the will be provided by BOM).
> For example:
> {code:groovy}
> dependencies {
> // Only specify the version of the BOM
> implementation platform('com.fasterxml.jackson:jackson-bom:2.13.1')
> // Don't specify dependency versions as they are provided by the BOM
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-yaml"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-guava"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-jdk8"
> implementation "com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-jsr310"
> implementation
> "com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-parameter-names"
> }{code}
>
> Not only is this approach "popular" but it also has the following props:
> * there is no need to declare a variable (via Maven properties or Gradle
> ext) to hold the version
> * this is more automation-friendly because tools like Dependabot only have
> to update the single version per dependency group
> h1. Other suggestions
> It may be reasonable to also publish BOMs for old versions so that the
> projects which currently rely on older Lucene versions (such as 8.4) can
> migrate to the BOM approach without migrating to Lucene 9.0.
