-----------------------------------------
A fix has been merged for 7.1.0. cc [~lukaszlenart]
> struts2-bom should not pull in non-struts dependencies from struts2-parent

> Key: WW-5376
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5376
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Tyler King
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 6.8.0

> The parent of struts-bom pom file is the struts2-parent pom file. The
> struts2-parent pom file includes a dependencyManagement section with many
> non-struts dependencies (including test dependencies such as junit and
> mockito), which are inherited in the struts-bom pom file. This is bad
> practice for a bom file since consumers of that bom will have versions for
> dependencies unrelated to struts locked down.
> See [https://www.garretwilson.com/blog/2023/06/14/improve-maven-bom-pattern]
> and [https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2] for an example of how they
> have both parent and bom pom files
